TRI-BERRY CRUMBLES
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place 6 creme brulee dishes on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, toss together the blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, the cornstarch, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Divide the mixture evenly among the creme brulee dishes, including any juices that collect.
- For the crumble, combine the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, oats, cinnamon, and salt in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Add the butter and mix it on low speed until the mixture is crumbly. Pinch it with your fingers until it makes large crumbles and distribute it on the berries (it will not cover them entirely). Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until the juices are bubbly and the topping is browned. Serve warm with a small scoop of vanilla ice cream.
INDIVIDUAL FRUIT CRISP
Created for my preschoolers to do as an individual cooking activity, they are also perfect for single servings. I tried to simply change the portion sizes on other recipes, but they got too complicated. This is just a basic recipe for you to get you started. It would also work as a pre-dinner party activity--lay out a make-your-own-crisp table and have guests create their own concoctions. Serve with whipped cream or ice cream.

With my family's hectic schedule, I cook for one quite frequently. My mini apple crisp recipe is so simple to make. It works equally well as a nice single-serving dessert for me or as an afternoon snack when our oldest son gets home from school. -Sherry Krenz, Woodworth, North Dakota

Steps:
- Make cinnamon-vanilla ice cream: Cover the bottom of an 8-inch square baking dish with one-third of ice cream; smooth into an even layer. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Repeat to make two more ice-cream layers, sprinkling each with 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Cover with plastic wrap, and freeze until ready to use, at least 45 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil. Cut a small, shallow X in the bottom of each peach. Blanch peaches until skins begin to loosen, about 30 seconds; drain. Peel and pit peaches, and then cut into 1/4-inch-thick wedges. Transfer to a bowl; toss with 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1/4 cup brown sugar, the ginger, and 1 tablespoon cornstarch. Set aside.
- Put cherries in a bowl; toss with 1/2 cup brown sugar and remaining tablespoons lemon juice and cornstarch.
- Whisk together cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, the remaining 1/4 cup brown sugar, and the granulated sugar in a medium bowl. Blend in butter with a pastry blender or two knives until it resembles coarse meal. Stir in almonds. Squeeze to form a crumbly topping.
- Fill six mini foil pie plates (each 4 1/2 inches in diameter and 1 1/4 inches high) with fruit, three with cherry mixture and three with peach mixture. Transfer to rimmed baking sheets; divide topping among fruit pies. Bake until juices are bubbling, about 30 minutes. Let crisps cool slightly; serve warm with scoops of cinnamon-vanilla ice cream.
Tips:
- Choose the right fruit: Use firm, ripe fruit that will hold its shape when baked. Avoid fruits that are too soft or mushy, as they will break down too much during baking.
- Use a variety of fruits: Don't be afraid to mix and match different fruits to create a unique and flavorful crisp. Some popular combinations include apples and cinnamon, peaches and blueberries, and pears and cranberries.
- Sweeten to taste: The amount of sugar you need will depend on the sweetness of the fruit you are using. Start with a small amount of sugar and add more to taste.
- Use a combination of oats, flour, and nuts: This will create a crispy and flavorful topping for your crisp. You can also add spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, or ginger for extra flavor.
- Bake until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling: This will ensure that your crisp is cooked through and has a delicious caramelized flavor.
Conclusion:
Individual fruit crisps are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and satisfying treat that is perfect for any occasion. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy dessert, give individual fruit crisps a try. You won't be disappointed!
