APPLE FREEZER JAM

Steps:

• In large bowl, mix apples, sugar, cinnamon and ginger; toss to coat. Set aside at room temperature 30 minutes.
• Place the apples and any collected juices into large pot, and mix in pectin. Heat to boiling; reduce heat to medium, and cook jam until thickened and apples have softened, about 10 minutes.
• Use ladle to transfer jam into clean jars, leaving about 1/2 inch space at top of each jar. Place lids on top, and allow to cool to room temperature (at least 2 hours), before freezing. Defrost jam in refrigerator before using.

APPLE-BERRY BROWN BETTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 1 1/2-quart baking dish. Toss the apples, blackberries, granulated sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, the lemon zest and juice, flour and 4 tablespoons melted butter in a large bowl.
• In another bowl, combine the cones, brown sugar, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, the almonds, salt and the remaining 4 tablespoons melted butter.
• Pour half of the apple-berry mixture into the prepared baking dish. Scatter half of the cone mixture on top. Spread the remaining apple-berry mixture on top, then sprinkle with the remaining cone mixture. Bake until the apples are soft and the topping is golden brown, 40 to 45 minutes. Transfer the dish to a rack and let sit 10 minutes before serving. Top with ice cream or whipped cream, if desired.

APPLE-STRAWBERRY BETTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Butter a 2-quart baking dish; set aside. Pulse the bread in a food processor until it is a mix of pea-size pieces and smaller crumbs. (You should have about 3 cups.) Spread the breadcrumbs on a baking sheet and bake, stirring halfway through, until dried and toasted, 30 to 40 minutes.
• Meanwhile, melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until brown flecks appear, 5 to 6 minutes. Immediately transfer to a medium bowl. Toss the apples and strawberries with 1/2 cup sugar, the cinnamon and salt in a separate large bowl. Let sit until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is juicy, about 10 minutes.
• Increase the oven temperature to 375 degrees F. Stir the breadcrumbs into the browned butter, then scatter one-third of the breadcrumbs in the bottom of the prepared dish. Top with half of the fruit mixture. Repeat with the remaining breadcrumbs and fruit, ending with a layer of breadcrumbs. Sprinkle with the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar. Cover with foil and bake until the apples are almost tender and the filling is bubbling, about 1 hour 15 minutes.
• Remove the foil and increase the oven temperature to 400 degrees F. Continue baking until the top is well browned and the apples are tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool at least 15 minutes. Serve with whipped cream.
