This is one of my favorite desserts of all time! I have been making this for many years. You can use any kind of fruit – whatever you have in season. It works well with bananas and fresh pineapple, too. My favorite choices are pears, apples, raspberries, peaches or blackberries.
Ingredients
6 cups ripe fruit, peeled and sliced
For the topping:
1 stick (4 oz.) butter, softened
3/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup oats
11/4 cups brown sugar, packed
3/4 cups chopped pecans
Large pinch salt
For the crème fraiche:
1/2 cup crème fraiche
1/8 cup brown sugar
You will also need:
Large casserole or large pie dish
Utility knife
2 bowls
Instructions
Preheat oven to 40oF.
Place the fruit (peeled and sliced, if appropriate) directly into the casserole or pie dish.
With hands, mix together the remaining (topping) ingredients until moist. Sprinkle topping over fruit. Bake for about 35 minutes, until golden brown (start checking at 30 minutes – will depend on oven).
Serves 8.
