Receta Apricot and Cherry Mini Crisps
I first made these crisps two years ago as soon as Deeba posted the recipe on her blog. Since then I have tried this recipe several times with different combination of fruits. Other than Apricot and Cherry I have tried apple and strawberry and with the left over fruits from our fruit diet that we have once a week :) (a mixture of mango, apple, strawberry, banana, kiwi & orange). I love this Apricot and Cherry combination the best and then the strawberry and apple combo. I have served these crisps in several parties and our guests loved it. Try this with the seasonal fruits of your choice!
Apricot and Cherry Mini Crisps
(Recipe Source: Deeba)
Ingredients:
- 3 tablespoons flour
- 1/2 cup vanilla sugar or regular sugar
- 500gms apricots, halved & pitted
- 250gms cherries, pitted
- Juice of 1/2 lime
- Topping:
- 1/2 cup vanilla sugar or brown sugar (I used brown sugar)
- 1/3 cup flour
- 1/3 cup rolled oats
- 4 tablespoons butter, chilled
Method:
First the topping: in a small bowl, combine vanilla sugar, flour and rolled oats. Cut in the butter until crumbly.
Preheat oven to 190 C.
In a large bowl, combine flour & sugar; stir in the apricots, cherries & lime juice & toss to coat well. In case the fruits are tart you can adjust the sugar according to taste.
Divide equally between 8 small ramekins or into a 9” pie dish.
Sprinkle a couple of tablespoons of topping over each ramekin, pressing down gently to seal the top.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes till the top is light brown & fruit juices are bubbling out. Or about 40 minutes if you are using a single pie dish. Remember to keep a tray underneath to collect juices that will overflow.
Serve warm or cold. A dollop of unsweetened whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice-cream makes this crumble luxurious.
