Coconut Apple Betty

My grandmother used to bake this when I was little. It's one of my all-time favorite apple desserts, and it always brings back fond memories. Of course it's never quite as good as hers used to be. But I keep trying!

4 tart cooking apples, peeled, cored and sliced
1 cup breadcrumbs
1 cup shredded, unsweetened coconut and 2 Tsp for sprinkling on top
1 cup light brown sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
4 Tsp butter
1/2 cup water (you can add a little more if the apples look dry)
2 T Cointreau

Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees.
Mix all the ingredients together except the butter, water and Cointreau. Put the apple mixture in a Pyrex or ceramic baking dish (approximately 8 in. x 10 in.)
Dot with butter and sprinkle the remaining 2 Tsp of coconut on top. Pour the water and Cointreau over the apples.
Bake uncovered for about 50 mins.
It's absolutely delicious served with whipped cream. Let me know how you like it!
