Chocolate Fruit Crumble
"This is a wonderful rich dessert with not one but two fruits--apricot and apple. Serve this warm with vanilla ice cream or yogurt. You can leave the peel on the apples or if your prefer you can peel them. I use old fashioned oats just because I like the texture."

I was making apple crumble the other night and at the same time was skyping with my DD in UK and she suggested I do a variation and looked up this recipe for me and dictated it to me as I cooked !!! The wonders of modern technology !! Hence my crumble was all apple but the extra additions especially the chocolate of course certainly added a wow factor - it was just delicious and I served it with fig and ginger ice cream !! I used almonds as my nuts and dark chocolate pus regular course oats. just YUM !! -
I used canned peaches in light syrup instead of the apricots in natural juice because that is what I had in the pantry. I used granny smith apples, a gluten free rice flour mix (tapioca starch + white rice flour). I used regular oats as I like the texture a lot more as well. I used a dark brown sugar and only white chocolate chips out of preference, dark raisins & the walnut option. Made for Veggies and Fruits Tag Game. -
WOW!!! This was great! I never had chocolate crisp before, but I have a feeling I will have it much much more often now! This dessert was half gone by the time I could snap a pic! I made them into little ramkins and it turned out great. Made for ZWT 3! -
We really enjoyed this crumble Paula! I added in a little more sugar and used only white chocolate chips. Thanks, Kitten:)

I came to this site in March of 2004. It was then called Recipezaar. This site was the first on-line site that I ever joined. I first popped in 2003 while searching for a Peach Cobbler Recipe. In March of 2004, DH was having shoulder surgery and I was looking for a Split Pea Soup. Once again I found myself on Zaar as it came to be called.
Over the years I hung out and learned from some of the best home cooks in the country, I posted over 700 recipes on the site, reviewed over 3500 recipes and posted over 3000 food photos. Over the next 10 years the site made many changes and in 2010 it was sold to to Food Network and became Food.com.
Until last year we played games, talked and shared with one another. As a result of the community and the relationships I built I got to meet some wonderful people from all over the country. I also have a great number of friends that I have never meet face to face. Some of us still hang out at various places across the net.
Zaar was more than a cooking community. It was an internet community of friendship. Life is an adventure ever changing.
