Apple and Cherry Oatmeal Crisp
From chef and author Emeril Lagasse
September 22, 2006

Emeril Lagasse has this tasty treat using the fruit of fall, the apple, on Good Morning America!

Ingredients

2 pounds sweet, firm apples, such as Braeburn, peeled, cored and cut into 8 pieces (about 4 large or 6 small apples)

1 pound fresh or frozen pitted cherries, rinsed well

1 cup roughly chopped walnuts

3/4 cup granulated sugar

2 tablespoons fresh orange juice

2 teaspoons grated orange zest

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1 1/2 cups rolled oats

3/4 cup packed light brown sugar

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

12 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces

Vanilla ice cream, as accompaniment

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375°F.

In a large bowl, combine the apples, cherries, walnuts, sugar, orange juice, orange zest, ¸ teaspoon of cinnamon, 1/8 teaspoon of nutmeg and cornstarch and toss well to combine.

In a separate bowl, combine the oats, brown sugar, flour, remaining 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon and remaining 1/8 teaspoon of nutmeg. Blend the butter into the dry ingredients using your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Pour the fruit mixture into a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Sprinkle the crumb mixture over the top and bake for 15 minutes.

Lower the temperature to 350°F and continue baking until bubbly, apples are tender, and the top is golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and let rest at least 10 minutes before serving warm, with vanilla ice cream on top.

Makes 12 servings
