Best 5 Summer Fruit Crisp Recipes

SUMMER BERRY CRISP

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Butter a 9-inch Pyrex pie plate.
• 2. Gently combine the berries with the sugar, flour and cinnamon; place in the prepared pie plate.
• 3. Prepare the topping: Combine the oats, flour, both sugars and salt in a bowl. Use a pastry blender or 2 knives to work in the butter until topping resembles coarse meal. Sprinkle evenly over the berries.
• 4. Place the pie plate on a baking sheet. Bake in the center of the oven until the fruit is bubbling and the topping is golden brown, about 1 hour. Remove the crisp to a rack to cool slightly. Serve in dessert bowls with whipped cream or ice cream.

THE CRUNCHIEST SUMMER FRUIT CRUMBLE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees.
• Make the topping: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, oats, sugars, salt and spices. Stir in butter. Using your hands, squish mixture until coarse crumbs form. Some should be about 1/2-inch in size, some smaller.
• Spread topping in one layer onto a rimmed baking sheet. (You don't have to grease it first.) Bake until crumbs are solid when you gently poke them, and are fragrant, about 15 minutes. They won't change appearance very much. Transfer baking sheet to a wire rack to cool while you make the filling. (Crumbs can be baked up to 2 days ahead and stored in an airtight container at room temperature.)
• Prepare the filling: In a large bowl, whisk together sugar and cornstarch until well combined. Add fruit and gently toss to coat with the sugar mixture. Pour filling into an ungreased 2-quart gratin dish or 10-inch cake pan, mounding the fruit in the center.
• Spoon crumbs over filling and place the crumble dish on a rimmed baking sheet to catch any overflowing juices. (You can use the same baking sheet you cooked the crumbs on.) Bake until filling bubbles energetically around the edges, about 55 to 65 minutes. Let cool slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature with ice cream or whipped cream, if you like. Crumble can be made up to 8 hours ahead and kept at room temperature, or warmed up briefly in a 350-degree oven.

SUMMER FRUIT CRISP

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 8-inch square (2-quart) glass baking dish with cooking spray. In large bowl, stir sliced plums, 1/2 cup of the sugar and the cornstarch until combined. Spread in baking dish.
• In medium bowl, mix cookie crumbs, walnuts, Bisquick mix, butter and remaining 1/4 cup sugar with fork until crumbly. Sprinkle over plum mixture.
• Bake 45 to 55 minutes or until mixture is hot and bubbly and topping is lightly browned. Serve warm.

SUMMER FRUIT CRISP

Steps:

• cut the butter into 1/2-inch chunks and freeze for a half-hour.
• In a food processor, mix the dry ingredients (except the almonds) together, then add the butter. Mix until the butter forms roughly pea-size chunks. Add the almonds and mix until incorporated. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Butter a 4-quart gratin or casserole dish. Wash and peel the nectarines and slice 1/4-inch thick. Mix together the nectarines, berries, sugar and flour. Pour into a casserole and spread the topping evenly over the fruit.
• Bake the crisp for 45 minutes to an hour or until juices are bubbling over at the edges. To test, stick a knife into the middle of the crisp; if you feel resistance but the topping is dark, loosely cover with foil and bake a little longer.

RHUBARB CRISP

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine sugar and cornstarch. Add rhubarb and apples or strawberries; toss to coat. Spoon into an 8-in. cast-iron skillet or other ovenproof skillet. , In a small bowl, combine the oats, brown sugar, butter, flour and cinnamon until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle over fruit. Bake at 350° until crisp is bubbly and fruit is tender, about 45 minutes. If desired, serve warm with ice cream.
