Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium green tomatoes
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup rolled oats
- 0.5 cup light brown sugar
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking dish.
Wash and core the green tomatoes. Slice them into thin wedges and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and lemon juice to the tomatoes. Toss thoroughly to coat all the slices evenly.
Transfer the tomato mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
In a separate mixing bowl, prepare the crumb topping by combining the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, light brown sugar, and salt.
Drizzle the melted butter and vanilla extract into the dry topping mixture, and stir until the mixture forms a crumbly texture.
Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the tomato mixture in the baking dish, ensuring the entire surface is covered.
Bake the crisp in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the tomatoes are bubbling.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for at least 10-15 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
