This homemade fruit crisp topping is a delightful addition to any dessert, offering a crunchy and flavorful layer to complement your favorite fruits.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Mix thoroughly to ensure even distribution of the dry ingredients.
Cut the butter into small cubes and add it to the dry mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your hands to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Keep the butter cold for a better crumbly texture.
Transfer the topping mix to an airtight container for storage.
Label the container with the date for easy tracking of freshness.
To use the topping, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread your choice of fruit filling in a baking dish.
Choose fruits that are in season for the best flavor.
Sprinkle the topping mix evenly over the fruit filling.
Ensure an even layer for consistent baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling.
Check halfway through baking to ensure even browning.
Serve warm with a scoop of ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for a delightful dessert.
Let the crisp cool slightly before serving to avoid burns and to allow the flavors to meld.
