Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Helpful hints: This 3 stick recipe yields enough crumbs to complete 5 complete crisps. Do not use red delicious apples, they don't bake well. If using dried fruits, place in a small cup with enough orange juice to cover and microwave for 30-45 seconds. Cool and drain RESERVING LIQUID. Use liquid to mix with cornstarch (step 4). Add plump dried fruit last. If adding nuts: put 1/2 the crumbs on top of fruit, then nuts, then other 1/2 crumbs, the nuts. Nuts on top may burn so be careful.

* Step 2

MAKE AHEAD: Sift together flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and pie spice. Mix in dry oats. Cut butter into 4 long sticks, then cut each into pea sized cubes. Add cubes to flour mixture, 1 stick (cubes) at a time. Mix crumbs with 2 knives until combined. Place in ziploc bag and put in refrigerator.

* Step 3

PREPARE CRISP: Preheat oven to 425° (395° convection)

* Step 4

Grease a 9" baking pan with butter or Pam. In a medium bowl, mix cool juice and cornstarch and then sugar and cinnamon until smooth. Please fresh fruit in the juice/ cornstarch mixture, tossing to coat.

* Step 5

Place prepared fruit in pan in a single layer. Top with crumbs (and nuts optional), do not pack. Sprinkle with the sugar (to caramelize and get crunchy)

* Step 6

Bake for 30 minutes until browned and crispy.
