FRUIT CRISP BY HEART

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• For the crisp: Mix together the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt in a bowl. Using a pastry blender, 2 knives or a food processor, cut in the butter. Stir in the oats.
• For the fruit: Toss the fruit with the cornstarch, granulated sugar as needed and the lemon zest if using.
• Transfer the fruit mixture to a baking dish and top with the crisp mixture. Bake until the middle is warmed through and the top is crispy and golden brown, 50 to 55 minutes.

FRUIT CRISP

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Place six ramekins on a baking sheet and set aside.
• 2. In a large bowl, gently toss together the fruit, sugar, and lemon zest and let rest for 5 minutes.
• 3. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, oats, salt, brown sugar, walnuts, and butter. Using your hands or a spoon, gently toss to blend the ingredients and then rub the mixture together to work the butter into walnut-size lumps.
• 4. Divide the fruit between the ramekins, gently packing it down. Divide the oat and walnut streusel topping between the ramekins, packing a hearty mound on top of each.
• 5. Bake the fruit crisps until the streusel is golden brown, 18 to 20 minutes. Let rest 10 minutes before serving.

APPLE CRISP

Steps:

• Put all the topping ingredients and a pinch of sea salt in a bowl and rub together with your fingers until combined into a crumb-like texture - this can also be done in a food processor. Chill until needed. Will keep chilled for up to two days.
• Toss the apples with the sugar and lemon zest and juice until evenly coated, and tip into a 23cm round baking dish that's at least 5cm deep, or a 20cm square dish. Flatten down with your hand and scatter over the topping. Will keep covered and chilled for a day.
• Heat the oven to 190C/170C fan/ gas 5. Sit the crisp on a baking tray and bake for 40 mins until the topping is a deep golden and the fruit is bubbling at the edges. Leave to cool for 10 mins, then serve with ice cream or custard.
