Oatmeal Fruit Crisp image

This is a fast dessert recipe that lets you use up apples, pears, berries you have on hand. It is good to use up fresh fruit in season like apples and rhubarb. You can also use frozen sliced fruit - it doesn't need to be thawed before baking. This is a tried and true recipe made many times - Canadian Comfort Food for those long cold winters!

Time 1h

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 cups sliced apples
3/4 cup quick-cooking oatmeal
3/4 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup soft margarine

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Slice apples in large greased large casserole dish. You can leave them unpeeled or peeled as you wish.
  • Combine dry ingredients, then cut in margarine until crumbly. Put over fruit and cook for approximately 35 to 45 minutes until fruit is cooked through. Check with a knife - if the fruit is soft and the oatmeal crisp is brown, it is done.
  • You can substitue diced rhubarb, pears, berries like saskatoons or blueberries for part or all of the apples. You may want to sprinkle a bit of cornstarch over top before you put the oatmeal over top to thicken the fruit as it cooks. Apples don't need thickening, but berries and pears are juicier.
  • Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.
