A racist name for apple crumbles or pie. Popular in the 1950s.
"You always got these very lumpy mashed potatoes on steak night, and for dessert you got Brown Betty, which nobody ate, except maybe the little kids in the lower school that didn’t know any better--and guys like Ackley that ate everything." (From the Catcher in the Rye, by J.D Salinger)
