Recipe Introduction
This is "healthier" tasting than your normal fruit crisp because it's not overly sweet and you can taste the oat bran in the topping. I thought it was good for dessert or breakfast.
List of Ingredients
Fruit Filling:
4 cups sliced -- peeled ripe peaches
2 cups fresh raspberries [I used 1 1/2 cups blueberries and 1/2 cup raspberries]
1/3 cup honey [I used 3 T. brown sugar]
juice of 1/2 a lemon
1 1/2 T. unbleached flour [I used 2-3 T.
cornstarch]
Oat Topping:
1/2 cup unbleached flour
1/2 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup oat bran
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 t. freshly grated nutmeg [I used cinnamon and nutmeg]
1 pinch salt
6 T. cold unsalted butter -- cut into pieces [I used 4 1/2 T.]Recipe
Preheat oven to 350 deg. and grease an 8x12 casserole dish (glass or ceramic).
Mix together the filling ingredients and pour them into the baking dish.
In a separate bowl, mix the dry topping ingredients. Add the butter and cut it in with a pastry blender [I used the food processor].
Spread this over the fruit and bake for 40 minutes, until the top is golden and the juices around the side of pan bubble vigorously.
