I got a desire to make a crisp the other night. Oddly enough for
someone who collects cookbooks and recipes, I didn't use either
thing. I just made the topping up as I went, based on what I had.
I chose one of the non-clumpy granolas I have that contains oats
and combined that with maybe a third as much whole wheat pastry
flour, some sugar (I only had little packets of turbinado sugar
and didn't use many packets), and cinnamon. Oh wait! I spotted
some sliced almonds and added those too. Then I moistened this
with melted butter. I squeezed bits of this mix together,
distributing the clumps over a cherry filling. I have to say this
was the best crisp topping I have ever had or made. Ironically,
I, someone who ALWAYS writes down every single thing, with
measurements, did not do so. But the impromptu approach worked well.
