Author Notes
I’ve made this crisp for years. The fact that a layer of its sweet and buttery namesake resides below the fruit as well as above makes it doubly delicious. Made as is it’s sunset-gorgeous; but is no less delicious made with other summer fruits: blackberries, blueberries, strawberries, apricots and cherries. And in winter, pears or apples are pretty great also. Enjoy. —Gail Monaghan
