What fruits are best for an Easter fruit crisp?

Seasonal fruits like berries, rhubarb, peaches, and apples pair well in an Easter fruit crisp. Combining different fruits creates a more complex flavor profile, making your dessert even more delicious.

How do you keep a fruit crisp from being too soggy?

To prevent a soggy fruit crisp, toss the fruit with a bit of cornstarch or tapioca starch before topping it with the crisp. This helps to absorb excess moisture. Also, ensure your topping isn't too heavy, allowing the fruit to bake properly.

Can I make Easter fruit crisp ahead of time?

Yes, you can assemble the fruit crisp ahead of time. Store the unbaked crisp in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Bake as directed when ready to serve, adding a few extra minutes of baking time if needed.

What's the secret to a perfectly crispy topping?

Use cold butter when making the crisp topping and work it into the flour and oats quickly to avoid melting. This creates small pockets of fat that melt during baking, resulting in a crispy and crumbly topping. Adding nuts provides extra crunch.

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch baking dish.
