Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 3 cups mixed fruits (berries, peaches, etc.)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare six 4-ounce mason jars by lightly greasing them with butter or cooking spray.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the mixed fruits with 1/4 cup of granulated sugar. Gently toss to coat the fruits evenly and allow them to macerate for 5-10 minutes to release their natural juices.
- In a separate bowl, create the crisp topping by mixing rolled oats, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, remaining granulated sugar, and cinnamon. Pour in the melted butter and vanilla extract, stirring until the mixture becomes crumbly and well combined.
- Divide the macerated fruit mixture evenly among the prepared mason jars, filling each jar about 3/4 full.
- Sprinkle the oat and butter crumble topping generously over the fruit in each jar, ensuring complete coverage.
- Place the filled mason jars on a large baking sheet to catch any potential overflow and make transportation easier.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the fruit is bubbling and the topping is golden brown and crisp.
- Remove from the oven and let the fruit crisps cool for 10-15 minutes. This allows the filling to set and prevents burning.
- Serve warm, optionally topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. Can be enjoyed directly from the mason jars.
Tips
- • Choose fresh, ripe fruits for the best flavor—berries, peaches, and stone fruits work wonderfully in this recipe. • For extra texture, try adding chopped nuts like almonds or pecans to the crumble topping. • Make sure to macerate the fruits to release their natural sweetness and juices before baking. • Don't overfill the mason jars—leave some space for the topping and to prevent overflow during baking. • Let the crisps cool slightly before serving to allow the filling to set and prevent burning your tongue. • For a gourmet touch, serve with high-quality vanilla ice cream or freshly whipped cream. • These mini crisps can be prepared ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator before baking—just add an extra 5 minutes to the baking time if cooking from cold. • Use wide-mouth mason jars for easier serving and a more rustic presentation.
