Ingredients

For the Fruit Filling:

  • 4 cups of mixed fruit, apples, peaches, berries, etc., fresh or frozen
  • ½ cup white granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon, optional

For the Crumble Topping:

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup brown sugar, packed
  • ½ cup cold butter, 1 stick, cut into small pieces
  • A pinch of salt

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch baking dish or pie plate.
  • Prepare the Fruit Filling: In a large bowl, combine the mixed fruit with white granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons of flour, and cinnamon (if using). Toss until the fruit is evenly coated. Transfer the fruit mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
  • Make the Crumble Topping: In a separate bowl, mix the rolled oats, ½ cup of flour, brown sugar, and a pinch of salt. Add the cold butter pieces, using your fingers or a pastry cutter to mix until the mixture is crumbly and resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Assemble: Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the fruit filling in the dish.
  • Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit filling is bubbly. Check around 30 minutes and cover with foil if the topping is browning too quickly.
  • Serve: Allow the fruit crisp to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Notes

  • Fruit Choices: Feel free to use any combination of fruits you prefer or have on hand. Apples, berries, and peaches are classic choices, but experimenting with different combinations can be fun and delicious.
  • Adjusting Sugar: Depending on the sweetness of your fruit, you may want to adjust the amount of sugar. Taste your fruit mixture before baking and adjust if needed.
  • Butter Alternative: If you need a dairy-free option, you can use a plant-based butter substitute in the same amount.
  • Storage: Leftover fruit crisp can be covered and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
