fruit crisp

Ingredients:

• 2 to 3 lb (1 to 1.5 kg)of your choice of fruit
• 1 tsp. of ground cinnamon
• 1 cup all purpose-flour
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 tsp. nutmeg
• 1/2 cup butter, melted

Preparation:

• preheat oven to 350f
• toss the fruit with the cinnamon, then spread it evenly into a 9x5-inch baking pan 2 inches deep.
• in a mixing bowl, whisk together te flour, sugar and nutmeg.
• drizzle in the melted butter and stir until well blended with the dry ingredients
• scatter this topping evenly over the top of the fruit
• bake until fruit juices are bubbling around the edges, the fruit is tender and the top is golden brown, about 1 hour

Notes:

• I made this crisp with 2/3 apples & 1/3 cranberries!
• It was yummy, but personally I would add oats to the topping... of course does that then turn this recipe from a crisp to a crumble?
• I would recommend serving this warm with vanilla ice cream!
• hint from book: if you choose berries, it's best to toss them with a spoonful or two of flour to help soak up their extra juices.
• variation from book: you can modify the topping with whole wheat flour and vegetable oil.
