Ah! A Crisp…A Hawthorne Inn Crisp
Fill a 9 inch square pan almost to the top with fruit:
I mix Apples and Pears or Mangos and Peaches with Raspberries or Cherries for color
2-3 Tablespoons Lemon juice
3 tablespoons Sugar: white or brown
1-2 tablespoons flour
a bit of juice: Mango; Cider, ect. depending on fruits used
Top this with a mixture of:
6 tablespoons soft butter
1/3 cup sugar
dash salt
3/4 cup flour
mix well and add in 2/3 cup hazlenuts or slivered almonds
I mix this by hand and then crumble over the fruit
Serve hot and bubbly
When it’s Apple season, this really tastes like a wonderful pie!
I usually prepare the fruit the night before; mix the topping in the morning: easy.
