TROPICAL APRICOT CRISP image

Another wonderful recipe from the folks at BHG.com. This can be prepared any time of year because you don't have to rely on having fresh fruit. I can see making this on a cold winter evening and daydreaming of tropical beaches. Photo: BHG.com

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 can(s) (21 oz.ea.) apricot pie filling
1 package(s) (7 oz.) tropical blend mixed dried fruit bits
1 cup(s) granola
1/3 cup(s) toasted coconut
1 pint(s) vanilla ice cream

Steps:

  • Lightly coat the inside of a 4-qt. slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray. In the prepared cooker, combine the pie filling with the dried fruit bits.

  • Serve warm with a small scoop of vanilla ice cream.
  • TOASTING COCONUT: Spread coconut in a shallow baking pan. Bake in a preheated 350-degree oven for 5 to 10 minutes until golden brown. Watch closely to avoid burning, and shake the pan once or twice to redistribute coconut.
