Summer Fruit Crisp for Two (Parve)

I'm not big on cooking or baking during the hot summer months. But we do enjoy dessert, especially on Shabbat. When it's just the two of us, this fruit crisp recipe is perfect. Use apricots, peaches, plums, cherries, berries or a mixture of fruits. This recipe takes just a few minutes to put together and you're likely to have all of the ingredients on hand.

2 cups fresh fruit, (stone fruit should be sliced, cherries pitted)

2 teaspoons orange juice

1-2 teaspoons sugar (depending on how sweet the fruit is)

2 teaspoons flour

2 tablespoons rolled oats

¼ cup sliced almonds or chopped walnuts

2 teaspoons flour

1 tablespoon brown sugar

1/8 teaspoon cinnamon

1 tablespoon canola oil

Preheat the oven to 400 F (200 C). Spray a small shallow baking dish with cooking spray.

Combine the fruit, orange juice, sugar and flour and mix lightly. Spoon it into the baking dish.

Mix together the rolled oats, nuts, flour, brown sugar and cinnamon. Stir in the oil until the mixture is crumbly. Use your fingers to distribute the topping over the fruit.

Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the fruit is bubbling and the topping is lightly browned.
