ThemedDessertAmericanFruit Crisp
Ingredients
- 3 cups seedless red grapes
- 3 medium Honeycrisp apples
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 6 tbsp cold unsalted butter
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- for serving vanilla ice cream
Instructions
- 1Preheat the oven to 375°F and position a rack in the center. Lightly butter a 10-inch oven-safe skillet or similar baking dish so the fruit juices stay contained.
- 2Rinse the grapes and pat them completely dry. Halve any larger grapes so they roast evenly and release juice without bursting too aggressively.
- 3Core the apples and slice them into thin half-moons about 1/4-inch thick, leaving the peels on for color and texture. Toss the apple slices immediately with the lemon juice in a large bowl to keep them bright.
- 4Add the grapes, granulated sugar, half the cinnamon, the nutmeg, vanilla, and the salt to the apples. Toss gently until every piece is lightly coated and glossy.
- 5Spread the fruit mixture evenly in the prepared skillet. It should look generous and slightly mounded in the center.
- 6In a separate bowl combine the flour, oats, brown sugar, remaining cinnamon, and remaining salt. Cut the cold butter into small cubes and work it in with your fingertips or a pastry blender until the mixture forms clumpy, pea-sized crumbs.
- 7Scatter the oat topping evenly over the fruit, leaving a few gaps so steam can escape and the grapes can caramelize at the edges.
- 8Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until the topping is deep golden brown, the fruit is bubbling vigorously the rim, and the apples are tender when pierced with a knife.
- 9Remove the skillet carefully and let the crisp rest for 10 to 15 minutes so the juices thicken slightly. Serve warm scoops with a melting scoop of vanilla ice cream.
