| Adding apples to my berry for a big crisp. |
My weekly grocery pickup from Fred Meyer always includes berries. If needed, freeze any uneaten ones before shopping again. Today I thawed my stash to make a crisp.
I wanted to refresh my memory about oatmeal topping. I chose Apple Crisp with Oat Topping by realnakedchef on Allrecipes.
Apple and Berry Crisp
with Oat Topping
with Oat Topping
 |
| Fruits mixed right in the baking dish. |
6 scant of cups berries (I had strawberries, raspberries, blueberries and leftover cranberry sauce)
3 medium peeled and sliced apples
4 tablespoons white sugar
3 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
 |
| Lots of tasty topping! |
This is a half recipe for my 9" X 9" baking dish.
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup quick minute oats (I like extra oats)
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup sliced pecans (optional)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup room temperature butter or margarine
Directions:
Coat a medium-sized baking dish with vegetable spray. To make it easy, use the baking dish as a mixing bowl. Mix together the berries and sliced apples. Sprinkle white sugar, flour (to thicken the juices while baking) and cinnamon over the top and stir until well blended.
Use a bowl to mix the brown sugar, oats, flour, sliced pecans and cinnamon for the topping. Use a pastry cutter or whisk (my choice) to cut the butter into the oats mixture until it resembles pea-sized crumbs.

Spread the topping over the fruit. Pat it gently until even. Bake at 350 degrees F for about 40 minutes or until it's golden brown and the sides are bubbling. If you used apples, it may take a little longer for them to soften.

If you have lots of berries, you can cut down on the apples or eliminate them altogether. Fresh or thawed berries work equally well. Crisps are very versatile.
What's cooking in your kitchen right now? -- Margy
It looks amazing and is a great way to use up older fruit including berries and apples.
ReplyDeleteI just froze a few more today in anticipation of grocery day tomorrow. - Margy
DeleteI love a good fruit crisp!
ReplyDeleteOur good friend Dave makes the best. I can use his recipes and still they turn out different. He must have the magic touch. - Margy
DeleteThis looks great! I imagine it would make a good late breakfast (you commented on my blog Erratic engineeress that you're eating breakfasts without lunches now :))
ReplyDeleteYes, it would. We alternate our breakfasts with fruit and a sweet roll or toast one day with something more substantial like eggs and a meat next. - Margy
DeleteMy that looks amazingly tasty.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the recipe!
Some of the new varieties of apples don't cook down to a soft consistency. I need to do some research to find the best, but like my berries it's a way to use up older apples. - Margy
DeleteDelicious! Am sure it tastes equally great too!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing this yummy post.
Happy #ww and a great rest of the week.
Thank you for the comment. This is the first week I've posted to Wordless Wednesday not that it's open to include posts with words. As you can tell, I can be a bit wordy. - Margy
DeleteYummy... a wonderful recipe for the Corner of the World. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteStay healthy and well.
I grew up with a lot of crisps with my grandparents having a quarter acre garden and both of my parents excellent cooks. - Margy
DeleteIt looks good and delicious. Have a great day.
ReplyDeleteThanks, you too. We need to find pleasure in little things these days. - Margy
DeleteJB did groceries this morning! I can't see to drive comfortably. It's been crazy times.
ReplyDeleteTomorrow I am going to enter the grocery store for the first time since mid-March. I have two things that need to be returned. I'll do it while we are parked in the pickup area for our new week's online grocery order. - Margy
DeleteYummm! Looks delish!
ReplyDeleteIt is a good thing we are walking about a mile every day or things like this would cause a weight gain. So far I'm holding steady. - Margy
DeleteI haven't had a dish like this in forever, it sounds so good!!
ReplyDeleteJenna

Hugs,

Staying safe in my neighbourhood, cooking and eating more than usual. - Margy
DeleteI love fruit crisp, and we have rhubarb for pulling and I make apple and rhubarb crumble, delicious.
ReplyDeleteI love rhubarb just cooked or in a crisp. Maybe I'll see if I can order some from the store for pickup. I miss having fresh from my garden, but my plant that lasted years overwintering in a large container was killed by grubs in the roots two winters ago. - Margy
