Two Berry Crisp With Pecan Streusel Topping Recipes

TWO-BERRY CRISP WITH PECAN STREUSEL TOPPING

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. Spray bottom and sides of 8-inch square (2-quart) glass baking dish with cooking spray. In medium bowl, mix oats, 1/2 cup flour and the brown sugar. Cut in butter, using pastry blender (or pulling 2 table knives through ingredients in opposite directions), until crumbly. Stir in pecans.
• In large bowl, mix remaining ingredients. Spread in baking dish. Sprinkle oat mixture over top.
• Bake 30 to 40 minutes or until fruit mixture is bubbly and topping is golden brown.

MIXED BERRY CRUMBLE (WITH OAT-FREE STREUSEL TOPPING)

Steps:

• Prepare the filling. Mix the berries, sugar, cornflour, and vanilla extract in a large mixing bowl. You can also do this directly in the dish you plan to bake them in (and save up on washing).
• Prepare the streusel topping. Mix the flour, coconut, butter (room temp is best), sugar, and salt. Mix the ingredients until well combined. It's best to use your fingertips to help the butter soften and get mixed with the rest of the dry ingredients - and also create the thick crumb-like consistency of the crumble topping. Add the nuts and mix to combine.
• Combine and bake the berry crumble. Pour the berry mixture into a baking dish (20x30cm/8x12"-inch rectangular or 25cm/10" round tin). Then top it with the buttery mixture.Bake in the oven for about 25 minutes at 180ºC/350ºF (fan-assisted). The crumble is ready when it starts bubbling and the crust is golden. If you want it more golden on top, turn on the grill (broiler) and heat for 2-3 minutes until it's browned further.

PEACH & BLUEBERRY CRISP WITH SPICED-PECAN TOPPING

Steps:

• Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 375°F Lightly butter a 9-inch square metal or ceramic baking pan.
• In a small bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and 1/8 teaspoons of the salt. With your fingers, work the butter into the flour mixture until the mixture readily clumps together when pressed. Mix in the pecans.
• In a large bowl, toss the blueberries and peaches. In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar with the cornstarch, nutmeg, and the remaining 1/8 teaspoons salt and toss this mixture with the fruit.
• Spread the fruit into the prepared baking pan. Pressing the streusel into small lumps, sprinkle it over the fruit. Bake until the fruit is bubbling in the center and the topping is crisp and well browned, 45 to 50 minutes. Cool slightly and serve warm.
