Biff's Fruit Crisp
I made some fruit crisp tonight with apples, pears, cherries, and pear nectar that I thought came out perfectly. Here is, to the best of my recollection, how to make it.

Fruit Mixture
6 cups sliced apples or sliced pears or tart pie cherries
1 cup apple cider or pear nectar or cherry juice
2 tbs cornstarch (or flour)
1 tbs sugar
1 tsp cinnamon

Topping
1 cup flour
¼ cup sliced almonds
¼ cup rolled oats
½ cup brown sugar
¼ cup granulated sugar
½ tsp cinnamon
½ tsp nutmeg
8 tbs (1 stick) butter, cut into small cubes

Preheat oven to 375°F and grease a 8x13x2-inch glass baking dish.

Fruit Mixture. Add sugar to 6 cups sliced fruit and toss. Add cornstarch and cinnamon to liquid and whisk. Combine fruit with liquid and mix.

Topping. In a mixing bowl, combine all dry ingredients and mix. Cut in butter and mix on low speed until pea-sized clumps form, about 4 to 5 minutes.

Transfer fruit to baking dish. Sprinkle topping over fruit. Bake for 30-35 minutes. Serve with ice cream.

Variations. A medley of fruit in the crisp is also quite good; such as a combination of 4 cups apples, 1 cup pears, 1 cup cherries with 1 cup pear nectar... or a single source of fruit can be used. Sliced fresh peaches and peach nectar would probably be yummy too.
