Apricot Crisp Recipe

Ingredients

• 8 c. sliced fresh apricots (about 3 lb.)
• 1/3 c. granulated sugar
• 1/4 c. orange juice
• 1 tsp. fresh lemon juice
• 3 tbsp. plus 1/4 c. flour, divided
• 1 c. chopped walnuts, divided
• 1 c. rolled oats
• 1/4 c. brown sugar
• 1 tsp. cinnamon
• 1/3 c. butter, softened

Start by preheating your oven to 375 F. Get out a medium-sized bowl and add the apricots along with the sugar, and the fruit juices. Stir everything together to evenly coat the fruit in the juice (this will prevent browning). Add 3 spoons of the flour and toss to coat. Next, get out a square 8 in a baking pan and butter it well. Pour the fruit mixture into the pan.

Pour about half of the walnuts into a food process0r and pulse them until they are chopped finely. If you don’t have a food processor, you can use a coffee grinder or even chop them with a large knife (be careful!). Pour the walnut mixture into a bowl, then add the rolled oats, the sugar, the cinnamon, and the flour. Mix everything up, then use a fork to work the butter into the oat mixture until it is crumbly. Fold in the other half of the walnuts and sprinkle this mixture over the apricots. Bake your crisp for about 25 minutes or until the top is nice and brown. Allow the crisp to cool for a few minutes, then serve it while it is still warm with a bit of whipped cream or ice cream.

Ready for another yummy baked apricot treat? Try this apricot coffee cake recipe. It’s been a family favorite for us this summer and is best made with fresh apricots. You could of course also use dried ones that you have soaked in water first.

If you can’t find fresh apricots, use frozen or canned ones. In either case, make sure you drain them well before adding them to any of the recipes.
