Apricot Cherry Crisp

Submitted by ktdid

"Modified from a recipe in a Pike Place Market Basket newsletter. Apricots and cherries have been fabulous in Washington this summer and this recipe is quick, easy and very yummy. Like all crisps and cobblers, this is very flexible. Blackberries or blueberries can be substituted for cherries, and peaches can be substituted for apricots (I add some cornstarch when using peaches as they generate more juices than apricots)."

We had a wonderful apricot cherry crisp last week when out for dinner and I wanted to find a recipe that was as close as possible. I like that you can substitute other fruits since the local apricots are not in the stores yet so I had to use peaches instead. We really loved it and are looking forward to enjoying the leftovers!

really yummy! I used apple-sauce instead of the oil, and sprinkled shredded coconut on top. Big hit!
