Apple-licious Fruit Crisp

It's about that time again; It's Fall! Time for an array of colors amongst the leaves in the trees. Time to use apples when their flavors are incredibly intense and delicious. My particular favorite apple happens to be Honeycrisp. Any of your favorite apples and many other fruits will also be fabulous in this recipe, which happens to be THE BEST recipe for Apple Crisp that I've EVER had. In the past, I've bought a bunch of my favorite apples and made batches (and batches) of this filling. I'll fill freezer storage bags and pile them in the freezer, ready for an unexpected visitor, quick movie night treat, or forgotten get-together. Then simply, make the topping, crumble over the top, and bake. OR just make the recipe as is!


The BEST Fruit Crisp EVER

1 C. Sugar
3/4 C. Four, Divided
3/4 tsp. Cinnamon
4 C. Fruit, Chopped or Sliced
3/4 C. Brown Sugar
1/2 tsp. Baking Powder
1/2 tsp. Baking Soda
1/3 C. Butter, Melted

Preheat Oven to 350 Degrees. Combine Sugar, 1 Tbsp. Flour, and Cinnamon. Add Fruit and Toss. Place in buttered baking dish. Combine brown sugar, baking power, baking soda, and remaining flour. Stir in butter. Sprinkle over fruit. Bake 40 minutes at 350 Degrees or until topping has lightly browned. Serve warm with ice cream (Vanilla or Butter Pecan are my favorite with this) or fresh whipped topping, if desired.

**This recipe can have many variations. Be creative and try some of your own favorite flavors...Such as Apple with Cranberries (Fresh or Craisins), Peach, Blackberry, etc...Or even try adding your choice of nuts to the topping. Enjoy!
