Betty, Crisp, Cobbler ... so many names! But do you know the difference? BETTY or BROWN BETTY Most often found in recipes for a Brown Betty or an Apple Brown Betty, a betty is a crisp topped with buttered bread crumbs or bread pieces instead of streusel or another topping; later recipes also use graham cracker crumbs (see the history of the graham cracker, which postdates the Brown Betty). In some recipes, sugared and spiced fruit, usually diced apples (although any fruit can be used), is placed in alternating layers with the crumbs and baked, covered, to the consistency of bread pudding. The dish and name date back to colonial times, but the original “Betty” is lost to history; the brown refers to the brown sugar in the recipe |
