Today I read an article by Leah Eskin (Chicago tribune) lobbying to make fruit bars instead of pie. She proposed that pies could be tough to make and were possibly too goopy; that a more crust : less center ratio might be desirable. The article made some good points and the accompanying recipe for Raspberry Apricot bars looked lovely but I started thinking about her premise. Is less goopy better? Really?
I prefer fruit pies to fruit bars; hands down. The fruit is the star and the crust is a nice compliment - not the other way around. So ...
Are you a filling fan or a crust fan. Which do you prefer: Pie or bar?
