STRAWBERRY APPLE CRISP RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350.
• Wash strawberries, remove stems and cut in half. If very large, cut in quarters.
• Peel apples and cut into small slices.
• Mix filling ingredients and put in 2 1/2 quart casserole.
• Mix topping ingredients, except for margarine.
• Cut in margarine until crumbly.
• Spread topping on top of fruit filling.
• Bake for 45 minutes or until just starting to brown.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Combine the strawberries, apples, granulated sugar, walnuts, and cinnamon in a saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft.
• Divide the strawberry-apples mixture among the tart shells.
• Sift the flour into a bowl, rub the butter in until it looks like fine bread crumbs and add the oatmeal. Gently mix in the brown sugar. Sprinkle a thick layer of the crumble mixture on top of the fruit. Arrange the crumbles on a baking sheet and bake until lightly browned and hot and bubbly, about 20 minutes.
• Divide the crumbles among plates, place a scoop of ice cream on the top of each, sprinkle with confectioners' sugar. Garnish with strawberry slices.
• In a mixer, cream the butter and sugar; then add the eggs slowly, mixing well. Add the cream. Add the flour all at once and mix to a smooth dough. Divide the dough in half and wrap in plastic wrap. Let rest in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll out half of the dough into a large square, about 1/8 inch thick. (Freeze the other half of the dough for another use.) Cut the dough into 4 parts and line 4 (4-inch) tart pans. Line each tart with parchment paper and fill with dried beans. Bake for 15 minutes, remove the parchment and beans, and bake for 15 minutes more.
• Let cool on a rack.
