Fruit Filling

Vanilla Ice Cream (optional)

Method

Fruit Filling

  1. 1

    Prepare the Fruit

    Wash, peel (if needed), and chop the seasonal fruits into bite-sized pieces. Place them in a large mixing bowl.

  2. 2

    Mix the Filling Ingredients

    Add granulated sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, ground cinnamon, and salt to the fruit. Toss gently to combine until the fruit is evenly coated.

  3. 3

    Transfer to Baking Dish

    Spread the fruit mixture into an even layer in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.

Crisp Topping

  1. 4

    Combine Dry Ingredients

    In a medium bowl, mix together rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, ground nutmeg, and salt.

  2. 5

    Add Butter

    Pour the melted butter into the dry ingredients and mix until the mixture is crumbly and well combined.

  3. 6

    Top the Fruit

    Evenly spread the crisp topping over the fruit filling in the baking dish.

Baking

  1. 7

    Bake the Crisp

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the fruit crisp for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling.

  2. 8

    Cool Slightly

    Remove from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes before serving.

Vanilla Ice Cream (optional)

  1. 9

    Prepare Ice Cream Base

    In a saucepan, combine heavy cream, whole milk, and granulated sugar. Heat over medium heat until the sugar dissolves.

  2. 10

    Temper Egg Yolks

    In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Gradually add a small amount of the warm cream mixture to the yolks, whisking constantly. Then pour the yolk mixture back into the saucepan.

  3. 11

    Cook and Cool

    Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. Remove from heat, stir in vanilla extract, then cool completely before churning in an ice cream maker.
