Well, you're not alone. I was thinking of apple crisp all along--nothing more. :-)

Oh dear, I shoulda known better. I wondered why "crisp" was suddenly so hip--why were so many people listing it. The answer was in the Urban Dictionary: evidently it is used to mean awsome, cool, or something like that. So I was trying to make a joke. Best I had stick to my own outdated slanguage.

As far as I'm concerned, the texture of the apples isn't really the point - it is all about the crunchy, crackly goodness that is the streusel on top. mmmmmmmmmm!

Hmm. True, amcd. Either I've not had the right kind of apple crisp or apple crisp really isn't crisp. Still tastes good, though. Yum.
