Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes 8 (4-ounce) servings

Ingredients

1 1/2 quarts assorted fruits (such as blueberries, raspberries, peaches, plums, or cherries), trimmed and chopped into bite-size pieces
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon lemon zest (from about 1/2 a lemon)
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup quick-cooking oats
Pinch of salt
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Place six ramekins on a baking sheet and set aside.

    Step 2

    2. In a large bowl, gently toss together the fruit, sugar, and lemon zest and let rest for 5 minutes.

    Step 3

    3. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, oats, salt, brown sugar, walnuts, and butter. Using your hands or a spoon, gently toss to blend the ingredients and then rub the mixture together to work the butter into walnut-size lumps.

    Step 4

    4. Divide the fruit between the ramekins, gently packing it down. Divide the oat and walnut streusel topping between the ramekins, packing a hearty mound on top of each.

    Step 5

    5. Bake the fruit crisps until the streusel is golden brown, 18 to 20 minutes. Let rest 10 minutes before serving.
