FRUIT CRISP TOPPING
Steps:
- Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 400 degrees. Pulse flour, sugars, cinnamon, and butter in food processor until mixture has texture of coarse crumbs (some pea-sized pieces of butter will remain), about 12 one-second pulses. Transfer to medium bowl, stir in oats, and use fingers to pinch topping into peanut-sized clumps. Refrigerate while preparing filling. Scatter topping evenly over filling and bake until juices are bubbling and topping is deep golden brown, about 30 minutes. (If topping is browning too quickly, loosely cover with piece of aluminum foil.) Transfer to wire rack to cool. Serve warm.
Tips:
- Choose the right fruit. For a classic fruit crisp, use firm fruits that hold their shape when baked, such as apples, pears, and peaches. Softer fruits, such as berries, can also be used, but they should be mixed with a thickerener, such as cornstarch or flour, to prevent them from becoming too runny.
- Slice the fruit evenly. This will help it cook evenly. If the fruit is too thick, it will take longer to cook and may not be as tender.
- Use a variety of spices. Common spices used in fruit crisps include cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. You can also use other spices that you enjoy, such as cardamom, cloves, or allspice.
- Don't overmix the topping. Overmixing will make the topping tough. Just mix until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the fruit crisp until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling. This usually takes about 30-40 minutes. You can use a look to check to see if the fruit is bubbling.
Conclusion:
Fruit crisps are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that can be enjoyed all year round. With a variety of fruits and toppings to choose from, there's a fruit crisp for everyone. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give fruit crisp a try.
