Did you say you made a Crisp???


Apple, Pear, Blueberry, Ginger Crisp






Ingredients:
5 small apples peeled and diced
1 large pear peeled and diced
1/2 cup of fresh or frozen blueberries
1/2 cup of sugar
1/2 cup of amber agave nectar
1/4 cup of flour
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. freshly grated ginger root
Topping:
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup of chopped nuts (such as walnuts, pecan, or almonds)
1/2 cup of oats
1 tsp. cinnamon
6 Tbsp. cold butter cut into small cubes

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Combine the first four ingredients in a large bowl and let it sit for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Mix the agave nectar, 1/4 cup of flour, vanilla, and ginger in a small bowl.  Toss with the fruit mixture.

Butter a deep dish pie pan. Pour fruit mixture into pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, mix the topping in a bowl with your fingers: flour, brown sugar, nuts, oats, cinnamon, and butter.  Mash up until fully combined together.  Sprinkle on top of the fruit and bake for an additional 20 minutes.

Serve warm with vanilla ice cream, or serve it at room temperature with some fresh whipped cream.
