  • Apple charlotte

    • mjes on September 05, 2021

      This is a recipe I tried after a discussion with my Mother about Apple Betty which her Mother had made while she stuck to crisps and cobblers. As I had had neither Apple Betty nor Apple Charlotte, both of which use bread, I decided it was time to try this classic recipe. I enjoyed this dish and was surprised it was not familiar. However, I grew up on apple crisps (Mother) and apple pies (Grandmother) so while Mother had emotional connections to the apple Betty, I have emotional connections to the apple crisp.
