Denouement apple/pear crisp

6 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
2 pounds Apples Or Pears
Juice Of 1/2 Lemon
2 tablespoons Maple Syrup
¾ cup Flour
¼ teaspoon Salt
3 tablespoons Brown Sugar
6 tablespoons Unsalted butter

Directions

Preheat oven to 375f.

Peel, core and slice the fruit. Toss it in a bowl with the lemon juice to prevent browning.

Place the slices in a lightly buttered baking dish. Drizzle with the maple syrup.

Put the flour, salt, sugar, and butter into the bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal blade and process briefly. Or you may cut the butter in with a pastry cutter or two knives. The mixture should be crumbly.

Cover the fruit evenly with the flour mixture and bake for 45 minutes or until the juices are bubbling. Let sit for 5 minutes and serve with whipped cream, vanilla ice cream, or creme fraiche.

NOTES : This recipe is especially delicious when made with a mixture of apples, such as Empire or Delicious (sweet) and Macoun or Macintosh (slightly tart).
