Apple and Mixed Fruit Crisp

Submitted by flower7

"I came up with this after combining a couple different recipes. Use whatever dried mixed fruit you like; I like cranberries, blueberries, raisins, strawberries, etc. Goes great with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream on top. Yummy! Entered: Jun 14, 2005"

Really, really enjoyed the great flavor of this crisp! I included a full cup of the dried fruit (a mix of apricot, pear & peach) as well as the Granny Smiths! It was wonderful, right-out-of-the-oven-warm with a scoop of frozen vanilla yogurt, but it was very satisfying as well when cold from the frig! Will certainly make this one again!

This is a good spicy crisp that would go extremely well with vanilla ice cream. I used yellow and black raisins and dried apricots for the dried mixed fruit. I replaced the nutmeg with less allspice as nutmeg is an intoxicant. I used gluten free organic oats and a version of Recipe #256259. I used canola oil instead of butter though I know butter would be tastier it is what I had on hand.

I used mixed dried berries & added a little allspice. The final outcome was tasty. Made for 123 HITS.

YUM! This was a great crisp! I used Goodland apples from my tree which are similar to granny smith. For the dried fruit I used a mixture of dried cranberries, apricots, plums, pineapple, peach, mango and raisins. I did decrease the brown sugar in both the tpping and the fruit mixture by a bit as I know how sweet these dried fruits are. I loved the flavor mixture of the spices and the lemon. As it is quite a sweet fruit crisp I enjoyed this with a little bit of plain yogurt. Thanks for a winner flower!
