Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups Mixed fresh fruits (e.g., apples, peaches, berries)
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 1 cup Old-fashioned oats
- 0.5 cup Whole wheat flour
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 4 tablespoons Coconut oil (melted) or unsalted butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch square or similar-sized baking dish using a small amount of coconut oil or butter.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mixed fruits, 2 tablespoons of honey, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Toss everything well to coat evenly, and then transfer the fruit mixture to the prepared baking dish.
In a separate bowl, prepare the topping by mixing the oats, whole wheat flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Stir until evenly combined.
Pour in the melted coconut oil (or butter) and the remaining 1 tablespoon of honey into the oat mixture. Mix until the topping clumps together slightly and is uniformly moistened.
Spread the oat topping evenly over the fruit layer in the baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the fruit is bubbling and the topping is golden brown.
Remove the fruit crisp from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes before serving.
Serve warm, optionally with a dollop of Greek yogurt or a small scoop of light vanilla ice cream for an indulgent touch.
