Apricot Crisp Recipe
I have been in the mood for a crisp..but i didn't have any fresh fruit. I've been cleaning out our pantry and fridge/freezer so i thought i would try something new with some canned/frozen fruit. I'm all about using up what you already have in the house! Sooo happy with how it turned out. and happy to have not spent any more money on this treat.
Ingredients
topping:
1 cup sifted all-purpose flour
1/2 cup raw rolled oats
1 cup light-brown sugar, firmly packed
1/2 cup butter or margarine melted (i prefer margarine..but used butter this time)
*i doubled this..but i don't know why..haha. so i have a bowl full to use somehow.)
fruit filling:
apricots(i also threw in some strawberries to see how they would cook up. yum.)
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon flour
pinch of nutmeg
The topping is from my mom's apple crisp..i got the recipe for the apricot filling from honeyandjam.com(her photos are LOVELY)
Preheat oven to 400
fruit filling first..combine apricots..
i threw in some thawed-frozen strawberries.
combine flour, sugar and nutmeg.
topping time...... combine flour, brown sugar and oats.
pour in melted butter..stir it up. i started using a knife and fork but since it was melted i had to just stir it up to form clumps. mmmm..this is the best part. but cancels out any healthy-ness from the fruit haha.
pour fruit mixture into pan. i'm using one of my fav pans from william sonoma. (wedding present)
sprinkle mixture over fruit.
Bake for 30 minutes at 400 degrees.
I accidently almost burnt the crisp because i was busy working on the computer and dancing to the black eyed peas. not even joking. haha.
try my mama's apple crisp!
My taste tester...approved the crisp. she ate up the apricots. but before i let her eat it i was a cruel mama and made her say cheese a million times before eating it.
after a certain point though she was fed up with my photo taking
and wanting to dive in.
(this is her "mean face"..i think we encouraged it too much from laughing.)
the winner of the giveaway will be announced later today! i'm so excited!
