God Thank you and please continue to bless us with your wonderful bounty.
3/4 c. flour
3/4 c. oatmeal regular or quick
3/4 c. brown sugar, packed
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 c. butter, melted
1/2 c. finely chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
Combine all dry ingredients in large bowl; stir together. Add melted butter, a little at a time, while tossing with your hand. Continue, until the mixture resembles the size of peas and is crumbly.
This can be pressed into bottom of pan for a crust or crumbled over the top of prepared fruit to create a toasty crunchy top. I serve over Apples, cherry filling and sweetened rhubarb. I use under peaches as a crust adding light layer of crumble over the top. Sprinkle over dish of fresh or frozen blue berries and a dollop of ice cream (Soy ice cream for me) for a wonderful quick fruit desert.
I make it ahead and keep in on hand in fridge for a quick desert when we have company. I also do make ahead peach cobblers when my peaches are ready. I bake them in small metal storage pans that seal and freeze.
To use with apples you will need;
3 apples peeled and thinly sliced
1/2 Cup of Sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 Tablespoons water
Mix all ingreedients together and then pour into bottom of 8" or 9" pan, sprink with crumble topping and bake at 350 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes or till apples are tender.
