Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8x8 inch baking pan. 2.
In a medium bowl, combine the applesauce, granulated sugar, brown sugar, lemon juice, 1/8 teaspoon (40 ml / 1.4 fl oz) of the cinnamon, and the ground ginger.
Mix well and set aside. 3. Melt the butter in a separate bowl.
Add the graham cracker crumbs and toss until the crumbs are evenly coated with butter. 4. Press the graham cracker mixture firmly and evenly onto the bottom of the prepared baking pan to form a crust. 5.
Pour the applesauce mixture over the crust and spread it into an even layer. 6.
Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon over the top of the applesauce layer. 7.
Cover the pan with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. 8.
Remove the foil and bake for another 5 minutes, just until the applesauce is lightly browned on top. 9.
Let the Brown Betty cool on a wire rack before cutting into squares.
Serve warm, either on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Don't be afraid to customize the spices. A pinch of nutmeg, allspice, or cardamom added to the applesauce mixture will create an even warmer, more complex flavor profile.
