Any-Fruit Crisp Topping

This topping can go on top of any fruit when making Fruit Crisp and is yummy. 

Ingredients

• 200g rolled oats 
• 140 g flour 
• 140g brown sugar
• ¾ c unsalted butter, softened (or 1 avocado with 118 ml butter or ¾ c yogurt butter)
• 1 tsp cinnamon

Note that this is not a recipe that requires precision, so all amounts are approximate.  The balance of butter to dry ingredients needs to be enough to coat and bring everything together.  

Method 

Pre-heat the oven to 350F. 

Line a baking dish with baking parchment and prep and bake about 6 cups of fruit (especially fruit like apples or frozen fruit) for 30 minutes. If your fruit is softer or fresh you might not need this step. 

While the fruit is baking, mix the dry ingredients together. 

Soften the butter to around room temperature. You want a fairly loose consistency for mixing. 

If using avocado, cut it into chunks and thoroughly combine with the softened butter. A potato masher works well for this if you have one.

Add the butter (or avocado/butter, or yogurt butter) to the dry mix and work until all ingredients are well-combined. 

After the fruit comes out of the oven, cover it with the crisp topping. 

Raise the oven temperature to 400F Bake at 350for 20-30 minutes, or until the fruit is cooked through and the topping is lightly browned.

Let rest for 20-30 minutes, this will help the topping finish crisping up and will keep you from burning your mouth on the hot fruit.

Enjoy!
