Since our plum trees are loaded this year, I added some plums to today’s crisp. Of course, it is yummy with or without the plums.
If fruit pies aren’t your thing, a fruit crisp may be your answer. Crunchy, crumbly topping over sweet baked fruit topped with vanilla ice cream is scrumptious!
For This Fruit Crisp, You Will Follow These Simple Steps:
Slice apples and pears and place them in the baking dish. The baking pan can be round, square, glass, or metal. Sprinkle blueberries over the top.
Add syrup, lemon juice, and corn starch. Sprinkle cinnamon overall.
Prepare the crumb topping using a pastry blender to cut in the butter or butter substitute.
Spread the topping over the fruit mixture.
Bake in the oven at 350 degrees for about 45 minutes.
It’s nice to serve warm but delicious at any temperature. And don’t forget the ice cream: regular, lactose-free, or dairy-free—whatever fits your lifestyle.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator the second day covered.
