Our two-fruit crisp is a fabulous winter treat. Feel free to leave the fruit peels on or off, it's up to you. And the longer the crisp is cooled, the more the fruit juices will be absorbed. If the crisp is cut after 2 hours, the fruit will be a compote-consistency. Let it sit longer and it will become quite firm. To mix things up, add 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg and 1/4 tsp ground ginger for a more robust spice flavor. You can also try this recipe with other types of fruit: 3 lb pitted, quartered Italian plums also make a lovely crisp.
