* Fresh Apricot Crisp *

We bought some fresh apricots from a guy selling them out of his truck at my husband's work the other day. We made 12 pints of apricot freezer jam (mmm!) and then used the rest to make Apricot Crisp. We love a good 'crisp' here at our house. My husband is always making apple crisp or peach crisp. This was delicious! It was so tart and sweet...a perfect summer night dessert (except for the heating up of the oven...) We found the recipe here. Does anyone else love Allrecipes?

* Fresh Apricot Crisp *
(I had my 'crisp' all ready to take a picture of and then I couldn't find my camera! Meanwhile, the ice cream melted all over and it pretty much turned out to be an ugly picture...but you all know what a 'crisp' looks like, right?)
4 cups apricot halves
1/4 cup white sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2-1 t. cinnamon (the original recipe didn't call for this but it makes it so good!!)
1/2 cup butter
3/4 cup rolled oats

Preheat oven to 350*. Arrange the apricots in a 9x12-inch baking dish and sprinkle with white sugar. Mix together brown sugar and flour in a bowl; cut in the butter with a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Lightly stir in the rolled oats and spoon the mixture over the apricots. Bake in the preheated oven until the fruit is soft and the topping is browned and crisp, 35-40 minutes.

P.S. HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!!
