Live Well for Less

Chef Shelley Robinson creates a quick and easy fresh fruit crisp dessert.

Step 1: Marinate fruit from farmers market.

Use about a cup of each fresh local fruit. You can also substitute frozen versions of any of the following:

• Strawberries, apples, rhubarb, raspberries
• Add: orange zest
• Add: one tbsp. brown sugar
• Fresh thyme
• Pinch of salt
• Pinch of flour
• Mix ingredients together

 Step 2: Put fruit mixture into two small oven proof dishes and make topping

Mix together equal portions (about ½ cup) of the following:

• Butter
• Flour
• Sugar
• Oats
• Pinch of all spice
• Pinch of cinnamon
• Pinch of salt

After mixing together to form a cookie dough-like consistency, loosely sprinkle this on the top of the fruit.

Step 3: Bake at 400 degrees for about 30 minutes.

Top with vanilla ice-cream and garnish with fresh thyme.
