:Serves 6
3 Apples, Peeled, Cored And Cut Into 1 Inch Cubes
3 Pears Peeeled, Cored, And Cut Into 1 Inch Cubes
4 - 5 Cups Mixed Frozen Berries (I Used Blackberries And Raspberries), Thawed And Drained
1 Cup Sugar
2 Teaspoons Lemon Juice
2 Tablespoons All-purpose Flour
For Topping:
1/2 Cup Toasted Almonds, Finely Ground
1 Cup Regular Oats
1 1/2 Cup All-purpose Flour
3/4 Cup Brown Sugar
1 Teaspoon Cinnamon
Dash Of Salt
1 Cup Unsalted Butter
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. F. Mix together the fruits, white sugar, lemon juice and flour. Butter an oval gratin dish (3 quart size), and place the fruit evenly in the dish.
In another bowl, add the dry ingredients and mix. Cut the butter into pieces, and add it to the dry ingredients. Begin to rub the butter into the flour mixture until it begins to clump together. You could also complete this step in a food processor, and pulse until it begins to clump together. Sprinkle the topping over the fruit.
Bake for 30 minutes and then reduce the heat to 350 degrees F. Cook an additional 15 to 20 minutes, or until the top is lightly browned and the fruit is bubbling nicely. Let sit for 15 to 20 minutes. Serve with a scoop of ice cream or sweetened whip cream.
