BLUEBERRY APPLE CRISP
"This quick and easy recipe is perfect for novice microwavers. I teach it in my classes and my students love it."
FOR THE TOPPING:
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
3/4 cup flour
1/2 cup cold butter, cut in chunks*
1/2 cup uncooked oatmeal or granola
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
FOR THE FILLING:
3 large apples, peeled and cored**
2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries***
1/4 cup flour
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
TO PREPARE THE TOPPING:
Using the steel blade in a food processor, combine all ingredients for topping and process until crumbly, about 10 to 12 seconds. Empty contents of bowl onto a piece of waxed paper.
TO PREPARE THE FILLING:
Slice apples. Combine with remaining filling ingredients and mix lightly.
TO ASSEMBLE AND COOK:
Spread the apple filling evenly in an ungreased deep 9-inch glass pie plate or 10-inch ceramic quiche dish, depressing center slightly. Spread topping over filling and pat gently. Dish will be very full but mixture will reduce during cooking.
Microwave uncovered on HIGH for 12 to 14 minutes, rotating dish 1/4 turn halfway through cooking. Top will look cracked when done and fruit will be tender when pierced with a knife. Let stand for a few minutes before serving for topping to become more crisp. (Can be placed under the broiler briefly, if desired, but I never bother.)
Serve warm or cold with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
*Margarine or oil can be used instead of butter. If you use oil, you will have less topping mixture, but the recipe will still work well.
**Any sliced fresh fruits can be used instead of or added to the apples and blueberries (e.g. peaches, pears, nectarines).
***It is not necessary to defrost berries before cooking.
TO MAKE AHEAD:
- Topping can be prepared and kept in a plastic bag in the freezer. No need to thaw before using! A single serving can be made in a 10 oz. glass custard cup and will take about 3 minutes on HIGH to microwave.
- If you prepare the Crisp earlier in the day, it takes about 4 to 6 minutes uncovered on MEDIUM-HIGH (70%) to reheat.
- One serving will take 30 seconds uncovered on HIGH to reheat. If you top it with a scoop of ice cream before heating, fruit will be warm and ice cream will be slightly softened.
