Crunchy Crisp Topping

Individual crisps make serving a breeze. Just tuck the fruit into small ramekins, sprinkle on a topping, and bake for a-shorter time.Scott Phillips

Yield:Yields enough for one crisp.

This is my version of the classic fruit crisp topping. It can be made up to a month ahead and frozen; use it straight out of the freezer.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • Pinch salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon or 1/8 teaspoon ground or grated nutmeg (optional)
  • 8 tablespoons slightly softened unsalted butter, cut-into pieces

Preparation

  • Combine the flour, both sugars, salt, and cinnamon or nutmeg, if using, in a medium bowl. Rub in-the butter with your fingertips until it’s well blended and the mixture crumbles coarsely; it should hold together when you pinch it. Refrigerate until needed.

Oatmeal topping variation

  • Adding oatmeal makes a more voluminous topping with a rustic, crumbly texture. Add1 cup old- fashioned oatsto the master recipe.

Cornmeal topping variation

  • Cornmeal adds some unexpected crunch but makes the topping a bit less crumbly. Add1/4 cup cornmealto the master recipe.

Nut topping variation

  • After rubbing in the butter, add1/3 cup chopped walnuts, pecans, or hazelnuts, or sliced almondsto any of the recipes above.
