Crisp topping for fruit
This topping goes with any fruit that can be made into a pie. I for one think making piecrust is a lot more work than it is worth. The store-bought piecrust is near cardboard in texture and taste. So what is a mother to do?
In my case I obtain a can of pie filling and go from there. The topping is very simple.
The regular recipe calls for:

• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1 stick of butter (half cup), melted butter
• A sprinkle of salt

Put the butter on to melt. Don't scorch it; take your time. [If you start the butter before you start measuring the rest of the ingredients, it will be melted about the right time.]
Mix the first three ingredients well, and add the sprinkle of salt. Work in the melted butter until everything is coated. [If there are any lumps in the brown sugar, break them up or they will scorch in the cooking process.]
Put your fruit in a baking dish or pan. [If using fresh fruit do it just like you were making a pie. Canned filling, just dump it in.] Sprinkle on the topping evenly. You want just enough to cover all the topping.
Bake in preheated 375°friend oven until topping is brown and filling bubbling. It will probably take 15 or 20 minutes.
