BROILED BANANA CRISP

Steps:

• Peel bananas and drizzle with lemon juice; then cut in half lengthwise and then again across.
• You should have a total of 16 quarters of banana.
• Then distribute these banana quarters equally among 4 broil-and-serve dishes.
• In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, uncooked oats, flour and allspice -- NOTE: Allspice tastes like a combination of nutmeg, cinnamon and cloves, so you could probably substitute a mixture of those three if you're out of allspice or go with just cinnamon.
• Cut butter into the mixture until it resembles crumbs and then spread the crumbs equally over all the bananas.
• Turn on your broiler and place these dishes under the broiler, 5" from the heat source and broil 3 min; the idea is to brown it and warm it at the same time.
• Watch carefully, don't burn it or yourself!
• Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.
