Summertime Crisp

Nothing says summertime more than fresh ripe fruit.  And stone fruit and blueberries at that.  This year we acquired a house with a huge plum tree and I've been trying to figure out the best way to use them before all the squirrels get to them.  So get ready for a plum Bonanza!

This crisp recipe is seriously simple and easy to prepare.  It's my grandmothers recipe from Scandinavia passed down and now I make it with my daughter in the kitchen.  It's a great recipe to get the kids involved in- they can help make the topping and mix it all together.  And then do some tasty taste testing when it's all done.

Serve with some fresh whipped cream or vanilla ice cream and enjoy.  It may disappear quickly!

Recipe:

A baking dish of your choosing.
As much fruit as you can fit into it without filling over the top.  In this instance peaches, plums and blueberries.
For the topping:
1 cup flour
1 cup oats
1 cup brown sugar
1 stick butter melted
1 tsp cinnamon

Cut up all the fruit and place into the baking dish.  Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.  Mix all the topping ingredients together until it is in pea shaped crumbles in the bowl.  Spread topping over fruit and place in the oven.  Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour until the crisp is brown on top and bubbly.  Remove and place on wire rack to cool.  Enjoy!
