1 1/3 c (4.5 oz) old-fashioned oats 2/3 c (3.3 oz) all purpose flour 2/3 c (5.3 oz) unsalted butter 1 c (6.5 oz) light brown sugar 1/4 t kosher salt When I started making pies and crisps, I was confused about what pea-sized pieces meant and erred on the under-mixing side. Pea-sized pieces form after the butter is thouroughly incorporated, but before it begins to come together in large pieces. |

Place a fruit mixture in a 8 x 8 inch pan. Top with the crisp
mixture. Bake 30-45 minutes until the fruit mixture is bubbly, the
fruit is softened, and the crisp is browned. To top a pie, bake 20 minutes, then add the crisp topping and bake another 10-20 minutes until crisp is browned. |
Remove from oven and place on a cooling rack. Wait ten minutes and serve hot. To reheat, place crisp in oven or heat individual pieces. Serve with vanilla ice cream and warmed caramel sauce. | |||||||
