Bettys & Cobblers & Crisps, Oh My! What is the difference? IS there a difference? The answer is...YES...and I am (hopefully) going to educate you as to what those differences are. Don't be scared! It's all rather easy! Here goes...
COBBLERS are an American deep-dish fruit dessert or pie with a thick crust (usually a biscuit crust) & a fruit filling (such as peaches, apples, berries). Some versions are enclosed in crust, while others have a drop-biscuit or crumb topping.
CRISPS & CRUMBLES - CRISPS are baked with the fruit mixture on the bottom with a crumb topping. The crumb topping can be made with flour, nuts, bread crumbs, cookie or graham cracker crumbs, or even breakfast cereal. CRUMBLES are the British version of the American Crisp.
BETTY OR BROWN BETTY consists of a fruit, most commonly apples, baked between layers of buttered crumbs.
Betty, Cobbler, Crisp...whatever you call it, however you prepare it, it's sure to be YUM-O-LICIOUS!
Love and Best Dishes from My Nest to Yours!
