Nice and crunchy. :)Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18245742506531002363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20775625.post-21671344374852896432008-04-14T11:23:00.000+02:002008-04-14T11:23:00.000+02:00No, I just think it is intriguing to know about th...No, I just think it is intriguing to know about these different terms.

I did some reading and Baking911.com states that a Crunch is the same as a Crumble only there is a layer of crust on the bottom AND on the top. This is not what I've made.<BR/><BR/>I gave the dessert a "Crunch" title due to its source. The topping is from an old (circa 1775) recipe for Apple Crunch from the Fraunces Tavern in NYC.<BR/><BR/>Maybe I should change the name?Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18245742506531002363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20775625.post-1803059521494317472008-04-14T10:14:00.000+02:002008-04-14T10:14:00.000+02:00Is there a difference for you between a crunch and...Is there a difference for you between a crunch and a crumble?<BR/><BR/>I thought "crumble" was the British term, "crisp" the American term and "Betty" (<EM>mais oui</EM>) an old-fashioned, Southern American term. I've never heard "crunch" for this type of dessert?Betty Carlsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17155852272383173880noreply@blogger.com
