Fruit Crisp

This one is really good, but what I love most about it is the variety. You choose the fruit and then you choose the topping. My favorite is strawberries and black berries with the caramelized brown sugar topping.... YUMMY!!!! Really good served warm with vanilla icecream.

Fruit Crisp

4 cups fruit
1/3 C sugar
1 T cornstarch
*Choice of Topping

Heat over to 375 F Spray an 8 inch square baking pan. In large bowl gently stir together fruit, sugar and cornstarch. Spoon fruit mixture into baking dish ; sprinkle with topping, squeezing some of it together with your hands to create some larger clumps.

Bake 30 to 40 minutes or until top is golden brown and fruit juice bubble heavily at edges and begin to bubble towards the center. Serve warm or at room temperature. It is yummy with ice cream!
