What is the difference between apple betty and apple crisp? The main difference between Apple Betty and Apple Crisp is the topping. Apple Crisp has a crunchy, oat-based topping, while Apple Betty (or Brown Betty) uses buttered breadcrumbs or bread cubes, creating a softer, bread-like texture with a bit of crispness. Both are baked apple desserts, but the oat topping makes the crisp, well, crispier!

How to make a crisp with fresh apples? I make apple crisps and crumbles all the time with fresh apples. In place of the canned apple filling, you will need about 6 large (sliced, cored and peeled). A combo of Granny Smith and another sweeter variety works nicely in this recipe. How to store an apple crisp? Once the crisp has completely cooled, cover with plastic wrap. Store in the refrigerator covered tightly for up to 3 days. Remove the cover and heat in the oven to get it to crisp up again (or warm in microwave).
