AUTUMN APPLE CRISP

Steps:

• First, make topping by combining flour, oats, brown sugar and spice in a small bowl; drizzle melted butter over and then toss mixture together with a fork.
• Set aside.
• I am a big fan of the pumpkin-pie spice sold by Penzeys, which contains cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, ginger, mace and cloves, but you can use any spicing you wish for this--traditional would be to use only cinnamon.
• If your apples are at all tart, you may want to increase the brown sugar in the topping, as well as increase the white sugar mixed in with the apples; it's your call.
• As for the apples to use, I make this dessert a lot in the autumn when I always have lots of fresh macintosh apples around; it's also very good when made with northern spys.
• When topping is made and set aside, preheat oven to 375F and get out an 8-inch square baking pan.
• Peel, core and slice apples to get your 8 cups and place those directly in the baking pan.
• Sprinkle white sugar and juices over, and toss well.
• Sprinkle topping over entire surface of apples.
• Bake in preheated oven for approximately 40 minutes, or until bubbly and the apples are tender (poke with a fork).
• Let cool for a bit before eating; it's good warm or cool.
• I serve it warm, with vanilla ice cream.

SUMMER FRUIT CRISP

Steps:

• Oat Topping:
• Pulse 3/4 cup oldfashioned oats, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup light brown sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt in a food processor to blend. Pulse in 1 stick cut-up chilled unsalted butter until no dry spots remain. Transfer to a bowl and work in 1/4 cup old-fashioned oats with your fingers.
• Assembly:
• Toss 8 cups sliced stone fruit, berries, or pitted cherries with 1 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon, lime, or orange zest, 2 tablespoons lemon, lime, or orange juice, and a pinch of kosher salt. Transfer mixture to a 1 1/2 quart baking dish, scatter oat topping over mixture, place on a baking sheet, and bake at 375° until fruit juices are bubbling and topping is golden brown, 60-70 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool 1 hour.
• The crumble:
• Try swapping in unsweetened coconut flakes, sliced almonds, chopped pecans, or sunflower seeds at the end for all or part of the 1/4 cup of oats.
• The filling:
• Mix in a little grated peeled ginger (great with cherries), lemon thyme (delicious with berries), or a pinch of cinnamon.
