ultimate fruit of choice crisp

 

4-5 cups of berries of choice or peaches or apricots or other fruit of choice

4 T white sugar but can skip if you think sweet enough and want to go HEALTHY!!
2 c flour of choice
2 c oats
1 1/2 c packed brown sugar or less if you want to go HEALTHY!!
1 tsp or more to compensate if you lessened the sugar.. ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1 1/2 c butter or less if you want to go HEALTHY!! ( I never use that much...OMG!)

preheat oven to 350 degrees

in a large bowl, gently toss fruit with sugar if using sugar otherwise just toss fruit

in a separate large bowl, combine flour to nutmeg
cut in butter until crumbly.....(cut means use a fork or a pastry blender to mix and eventually the mixture will become crumbly....like the size of large peas....I know..."details")

press half of the "crumbly" mixture in the bottom of a 9x13 unbuttered (unless you omitted a lot and when the HEALTHY route) dish/pan

cover with fruit of choice mixture
sprinkle remaining "crumbly" mixture over the fruit of choice mixture

bake in preheated oven 30-40 minutes or until fruit of choice is bubbly and topping is golden brown

(tips:  i have done apricots, peaches, blackberries as my fruit of choice, also strawberries, blackberries and blueberries...do what you want and have fun...it's no fail especially warm ala mode!!!  may need to bake extra time if fruit is extra juicy)

found by me on the internet.....such a resourceful tool and it was not on a BLOG....LOL
