Specialty Recipe

Fruit Crisp

Ingredients Topping:

1 cup flour

1 cup sugar

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1 egg

1/2 cup chopped nuts

4 to 5 Tablespoons melted butter

Filling:

Approximately 7 large peaches

1/4 cup sugar

1 teaspoon cinnamon

2 Tablespoons cornstarch

Low-fat, low calorie version:

Use egg beaters in place of egg

Use low-fat margarine in place of butter

This will make enough topping to spread over 2 pies.

Also, if Delicious apples are used, omit the sugar and the cornstarch and add 1/3 cup of water to the fruit.

Topping: Combine flour, sugar, baking powder and cinnamon. Add egg and mix with a fork until a crumbly mixture results. (Reserve butter and nuts).

Filling: Peel and slice enough peaches, blueberries or apples to generously fill a deep dish glass pie pan. Add cinnamon, sugar and cornstarch. Sprinkle the topping over the fruit, top with the nuts and drizzle with the butter. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 to 40 minutes. (Fruit should be bubbling and top should be brown.)
