Easy Blackberry Crisp

You can use any fruit with this. I had fresh blackberries so I used those. If using canned fruit such as peaches or pineapple, you'll need 2-3 cans.


Fruit: You'll need enough to cover the bottom of an 8 inch by 8 inch baking dish
2 T sugar for sprinkling over fruit

1 cup rolled oats (old fashion, not quick cooking)
1 cup all purpose flour
1 c packed brown sugar
1 1/2 t cinnamon
1/2    t nutmeg
8-10 T shortening or butter

Preheat oven to 375.
Spray an 8 by 8 baking dish with cooking spray
Put fruit on bottom. If using canned just use the fruit, not the liquid. Sprinkle fruit with 2 T sugar
In large bowl, combine oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg.
Now, using a fork add in your butter or shortening so it is well incorporated. It will be chunky.
Cover fruit with this flour mixture.

Bake for 20-25 minutes until the top is golden brown.

Serve & Enjoy!

Mango Crisp

I absolutely love mangos. They're so juicy and sweet! This cobbler is sure to please.

You will need:

For Topping:
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup quick cooking oats
1/3 cup sugar
1 t ground cinnamon
1/4 t salt
1/4 cup canola oil
2 T water
1/3 cup almonds or other nuts (optional, I did not use)

For Fruit Filling:
6-8 ripe mangos
1 T lemon juice
2 T all purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar

Other:
Earth Balance margarine (vegan margarine)
Vanilla Soy Ice Cream (I used So Delicious brand)


1) Preheat oven to 375 degrees

2) In a large bowl mix together all topping ingredients, first the dry, then the wet. It will look dry.

3) To make filling, peel and cut up mangos into chunks. Mix them in a bowl with lemon juice, flour (from filling list), and sugar (from filling list)

4) Place filling in 8 by 8 baking dish and cover with topping. Cut up Earth Balance margarine into small chunks and lay pieces all over the topping. This will help get it golden brown.

5) Bake about 30 minutes or until topping turns golden brown

6) Serve warm with ice cream
