Meg’s Fruit Crisp/Crumble Tasty TreatHello everyone, Yes, a wedding blog will be forthcoming, once I can pry a suitable photo from my husband’s grasp. But not today. Today I am going to post a recipe I just typed out for my friend. She was having a lot of house guests and was feeling over whelmed and so I made her a fruit crisp/crumble(?) to help out. I’m not sure what it’s called, just know that it is delicious. Anyway, one thing lead to another, the guests loved it, wanted the recipe from her, keep bugging her for it, and she has been putting them off, but it was getting embarrassing because she pretended that she made it, so a rather hilarious confession to me was made accompanied by a plea for the recipe. And I promised to write the recipe down for her to give to them. Which I have just finished doing, but then I thought, well, if her guests like my fruit-whatever so much… You probably would too! So, here it is. Enjoy! Love, Meg Fruit Crisp/Crumble Tasty Treat Preheat oven to 375° Place in pan: Approximately 4 cups of fruit. I eyeball it and fill the pan until it is around ¾ full. You can use crisp granny smith apples that have been peeled and sliced, or a combination of fresh or frozen berries. My favorite is a mix of granny smith apples, and a mix of the raspberries, strawberries and blueberries that I freeze over the summer. One or two apples depending on what I have in the fridge and the rest delicious berries. In a bowl mix: ¼ cup white sugar Mix. Chop a large handful of raw almonds, and a large handful of pecans until the pieces are around half the size of a baby’s tooth. Add to mixture in bowl and blend. Then dump mixture onto the fruit in the baking pan and spread until it is covered evenly. Cook until some of the fruit juices are bubbling through the top and you can plunge a fork into the centre of the crisp and not meet any resistance (i.e. an uncooked/or partially cooked slice of apple.) The timing really depends on whether you used frozen or fresh (both taste great) and how hot your oven is, since all ovens vary. So be flexible. Could take anywhere from 30 minutes to 1 hour to cook. When ready, take out of oven and let sit for a few minutes before you serve it or you might burn your mouth. To serve: scoop out a generous portion and drizzle heavy whipping cream over the top and around the serving (sort of like a cream moat.) Then… devour!
