Apricot Crisp

Ingredients

• Unsalted butter - 1/2 cup, cold and cubed
• Salt - 1/4 teaspoon
• Cinnamon - 1 teaspoon
• Brown sugar - 1/2 cup
• Rolled oats - 1/2 cup
• All - purpose flour - 1/2 cup
• Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon
• Sugar - 1/2 cup
• Apricots - 6 cups, pitted and sliced

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a large bowl, combine the sliced apricots, sugar, and lemon juice. Toss to coat the apricots evenly.
3. In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
4. Add the cold cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
5. Spread the apricot mixture evenly in a baking dish.
6. Sprinkle the oat topping over the apricots, covering them completely.
7. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apricots are tender.
8. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
9. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, if desired.
