Here's the fruit in the pan:
And the topping mix:
Together, before baking:
And after baking:
It looks delicious, but one thing was a little disappointing: the topping texture. It just wasn't crisp enough! I was expecting more of a streusel topping texture: light, crunchy, sweet. The proportions reminded me of my husband's favorite coffee cake streusel topping, but instead this was a little crunchy, and a lot chewy.
Here's what I used (to the best of my recollection):
- 1/2 c packed brown sugar
- 1/4 c butter
- 2 T white sugar
- 2/3 c quick rolled oats
- 1/2 c flour
Because I use unsalted butter, I sprinkled a tiny bit of salt over the top. I also sprinkled on a little cinnamon. The taste of the topping and filling was fine. But, man, why did this fruit crisp turn out less than crispy?
A little help?

Good question...Hmmm how long did you bake it for? Could that have been the issue?
Um . . . about 30 min?
I guess it'd be a lot crunchier if I burned it ;) .
maybe too much butter???? you could have left it a little longer and put some tin foil (alumnium foil) over it to stop it burning??? could be either.... :D D: looked yummy tho xxx
I have had this problem with Peaches as well. They seem to have to much moisture in them. So I would try to double your topping mixture so that the bottom of the mixture absorbs the liquid and the top will get crunchy.
And watch the butter.
