Fruit is my favorite part of summer. Well, one of the only things I like about summer, but that’s another story.
One of my favorite summer fruits are cherries, specifically the tart variety you usually find in pies, but I’m also a fan of berries in any variety. I’ve made these fruit crisps with both, and both are delicious.
These mini crisps are perfect for a portion sized treat, and topped with a scoop of your favorite ice cream (I used Jeni’s Skillet Cinnamon Roll this time, and it was perfection!) it makes a nice summer dessert.
If you have fresh fruit, you can definitely use it or you can use any summer fruit you get from your farmer’s market. Berries, peaches, plums — all work well. Just make sure if it’s frozen that you thaw it out first.
