You can bake this autumn fruit crisp in individual ramekins or in one large baking dish - very good!!! Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups flour |
1 cup sugar |
3/4 cup rolled oats |
1/2 lb unsalted butter, cubed and chilled |
7 ripe yet firm pears (i like anjou) |
3 clementines, peeled and sectioned (or small navel oranges) |
1 cup dried cherries |
1 cup dried apricot, halved |
1/2 cup orange juice |
1/2 lemon, juiced |
1/2 cup sugar |
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/4 cup flour |
butter, for ramekins |
Directions:
1. UP TO 4 DAYS AHEAD: In an electric mixer fitted with a paddle, combine all the topping ingredients and mix on low speed until large crumbs form and just begin to turn pale yellow. Refrigerate or freeze in an airtight container.
2. ONE DAY AHEAD: Heat the oven to 375°F I a large bowl, mix the pears, clementines, dried cherries, dried apricots, orange juice, lemon juice, sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle in the flour and mix well with a rubber spatula. Let stand for 10 minutes. Lightly grease 12 ramekins (about 1-cup capacity) with butter. Divide the fruit mixture among tte ramekins and generously sprinkle the topping to cover the fruit. Put the ramekins on 1 large or 2 small baking sheets. Bake until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling slightly, 40-45 minutes. Remove from the oven and leave at room temperature.
3. ON THE DAY OF SERVING: Reheat the crisps at 300F until hot, about 20 minutes. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla or ginger ice cream.
