In the Kitchen: Apple Passion Crisp

I received a passion fruit with my Organic Box a while back and wasn't sure what to do with it, it only took one small taste to realize the fruit was way to tart to eat on its own. One of my favourite desserts to make is Apple crisp, this is probably mostly because it is such a simple recipe and takes hardly any time.... I thought I would try throwing the passion fruit in to mix things up a bit and here is how it went...

Grocery List
6 Gala Apples
1 Passion Fruit

1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tbsp flour
1 tsp cinnamon
1/8 cup water

1 1/4 cups quick oats
1 1/4 cups flour
1 1/4 cups brown sugar
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1 cup melted butter

1)Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
2)Peel and cut apples into bite-size pieces, and place in a mixing bowl

3)Cut passion fruit and spoon the pulp into the bowl with the apples
4)Using a spoon stir together until evenly dispersed

5)In a separate smaller bowl, mix the first amount of brown sugar together with the flour, cinnamon and water
6)Pour brown sugar mixture over apples and stir until the apples are evenly coated
7) Place apples in a 2Qt. baking dish, or 2 1Qt. baking dishes (like I did), making sure they cover the bottom of the dish evenly

8)In another medium bowl mix together the last 6 ingredients
9) Crumble oats mixture evenly over apples

10) Place baking dish(es) in oven and let bake for 30-45 minutes (depending on dish size) or until the oat topping has browned and the apples are tender.

11) Remove from oven and let cool,
12) Serve on its own or with my favourite vanilla ice cream!

I ended up freezing the recipe and taking it with me to the lake for our Easter Sunday dessert, I am pretty sure everyone enjoyed this tasty tart treat!
