A fusion of late-summer fruits, these crisps make a simple dessert—and what's left can be kept for breakfast. Look for apple crisp mix in the produce department of your grocery store. —Nicole Werner, Ann Arbor, Michigan

Ingredients

1 package (9 ounces) apple crisp mix
6 tablespoons cold butter, cubed
2 cups sliced fresh nectarines
2 cups sliced fresh plums
2 teaspoons cornstarch
Vanilla ice cream, optional

Directions

Place crisp mix in a small bowl; cut in butter until crumbly. Spoon half of the mixture into four 10-oz. ramekins or custard cups coated with cooking spray; reserve remaining mixture for topping.
In another bowl, combine the nectarines, plums and cornstarch; toss to coat. Spoon over crumb layer. Sprinkle with topping.
Bake at 375° for 25-30 minutes or until filling is bubbly and topping is golden brown. Serve warm; top with ice cream if desired.

Editor’s Note:This recipe was tested with Marzetti apple crisp mix. Look for it in the produce section of your grocery store.

Fantastic recipe it tastes wonderful. I really appreciate recipes with timesaver products. Those make the difference if I can make the recipe or not. I only had to pick up plums and crisp mix had other items at home already. As my mother said "If you don't have anything nice to say dont say anything at all!" So Simko12 the rating is to say whether you liked the finished product. Do not rate based on personal opinion only and insult others because you would do it differently. Submit your own if you have a better one. I will pray for you.

I think the recipe sounds good, but I too would make my own crisp. The nutrition information would be about the same.
