Nutty Fruit Crisp Food

A LITTLE FRUIT WITH MY CRISP

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• For the berry mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the raspberries and strawberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch and vanilla. Stir and set aside.
• For the crisp: Butter an 8-inch square baking dish. In a large bowl (or food processor), combine the butter pieces, flour, oats, granulated sugar, brown sugar, pecans and salt. Cut together with a pastry cutter (or pulse in the food processor) until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
• Press half of the crisp mixture into the prepared baking dish. Top with the berry mixture, then sprinkle the remaining crisp over the top. Bake until the topping is golden brown, about 45 minutes. Allow to sit for 10 minutes before serving.
• For the whipped cream: Add the cream and granulated sugar to the bowl of a mixer and whip until soft peaks form.
• Scoop out the crisp with a spoon and top with sweetened whipped cream

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.
