Fruit Crisp

4-5 Apples peeled, sliced and cored. Pears, peaches or apricots could be used too.

1/4 Featherlight flour mix*
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup margarine or butter
1/4 cup chopped nuts or coconut (optional)

Yield: 2 7oz Corningware Ramekins


Combine Quinoa, brown sugar, GF flour, cinnamon in a mixing bowl. Cut in butter/margarine till mixture is like course crumbs. Stir in nuts or coconut (if used).

Place sliced fruit ramekins. Cover fruit with the topping mixture.

Baking at 375 for 30-35 min or till fruit is tender and topping is golden.

*Featherlight Mix

3 cups rice flour
3 cups tapioca starch
3 cups cornstarch
3 tablespoons potato FLOUR (Not starch)

Al n Peg Notes:

Since there's only 2 of us, we like to make this in the ramekins. We fill the ramekins pretty full . Eating a whole ramekin in 1 sitting is a lot - unless you're pretty hungry . If we don't finish it, we'll cover it and put it in the fridge for later.

I vote for a TNT for this recipe.

This is a great recipe. Did you modify it from Better Homes and Gardens by any chance? I made it today with peaches, and almonds for the nuts. I also baked it in a 9x13 pan, which took 40 minutes. My BH&G cookbok also recommends the following fruits

* 5 C. fresh or frozen blueberries tossed with 3 T. flour (use same flour mix as in above recipe)

* 5 C. pitted tart cherries tossed with 1/2 c. sugar and 3 T flour (use same flour mix as in above recipe)

* 5 C. fresh or frozen sliced rhubarb tossed with 1 c. sugar and 3 T flour (use same flour mix as in above recipe)

Heheheeee

Peg sez YUP! We got it for wedding gift

Glad you liked it. There's no way we'd ever be able to eat that much. It tends to soggy and soupy - them's not good eats. I'm sure in your house it disappears in no time

Peg said we're gonna have to get some apples at the apple orchard this week [that's another ritual we do on this week off ]

Thanks!

Have you gotten the Retro Betty Crocker Picture cook book? I got it for Peg as a gift. It's the same one Peg used growing up a child.

Ooh - that one looks neat. My husband got me this cookbook for Christmas last year. It is the one he had growing up. He has ordered me to convert a whole list of the recipes. Seems like that one was a gift for him and not me. Is that kind of like him giving me a vacuum for my birthday?
