Fresh Fruit Crisp



This picture was taken at the potluck. After I tasted it, I went back and took a picture and there was not much, left. It has a vanilla cream sauce for the top which is not on this picture.

I believe Ed Adams brought this recipe and it is totally scrumptious.


Topping:


  • 1/2 cup quick cooking oats

  • 2Tablespoons cornmeal

  • 2 Tablespoons pure maple syrup or agave nectar

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla


Filling:


  • 4-5 cups sliced fresh fruit

  • 1/3-1/2 cup fruit preserves

  • 2-3 teaspoons lemon juice

  • 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg

  • 3 Tablespoons white whole wheat flour

Directions:


  1. Mix the syrup with vanilla and pour over the dry mixture use fingers if necessary

  2. Preheat oven to 375 degrees

  3. Place the fruit in a large bowl. Combine the preserves, lemon juice, and nutmeg in another bowl, spoon gently over the fruit and mix.

  4. Sprinkle with flour and mix again.

  5. Place in a shallow square glass baking dish.

  6. Bake 20-30 minutes depending on the fruit used.

  7. Remove from the oven, reduce temperature to 350 degrees.

  8. Crumble the oat mixture over the fruit and return to the oven Bake for an additional 15 minutes.

  9. Let rest 15 minutes before serving

  10. Use apples for this recipe

  11. If using fresh strawberries, use strawberry preserves and bake 20 minutes before adding topping.

  12. If using fresh peaches or nectarines use apricot preserves an bake 30 minutes before putting on the topping. How about a combination of peaches and rhubarb.

  13. Try putting these in individual ramekins and bake 20 minutes


Vanilla Cream Sauce:


  • 1 12.3 oz. package low fat Silken Tofu-firm

  • 1/2 cup soy milk

  • 1/3 cup Natural Golden Cane Sugar

  • 1 tablespoon vanilla

  • Place tofu in a food processor and process until very smooth.

  • Add remaining ingredients and blend until smooth and creamy.

  • Chill before serving.

  • This may be prepared in advance and kept in the refrigerator for at least 5 days.


If you don't want to make the sauce, how about serving this with a rice or vanilla soy ice cream.
