Revelations and a slew of crappy pics

It's been so long ago that this actually happened; I think I can only talk about the major points here:

1. Tara had some savory tarts while in Spain that inspired us creatively. We created flat ones, cup-shaped and pop-tart style tarts, filled with amazing things.

2. Actual caramelized onion and/or fruit is delicious. Previously, I believe anything I've ever had that claimed to be caramelized was truly only greased up and warmed. Don't get me wrong: warm and greasy can be just what I need sometimes- but these pears! They were something else.

3. Regular pie crust dough can be used for tarts but must be rolled as thin as you can possibly stand it.

4. I can drink the crappiest champagne in the world as long as I have raspberries to muddle.

5. My phone takes the crappiest photos in the world. Especially when you have food smeared across the lens and don't realize until the end of the night.

I Really Like to Make and Eat CRISPS!!

Okay, okay here we go... I take some liberty to add a few things here and there, so this recipe is not only delicious, but flexible for those of you who enjoy experimenting with your cooking!

Ingredients:

2 Rome apples (I used pink ladies this time, just as good)
2 pears
1/2 cup dried cranberries (can use raisins or dried cherries)
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons honey (I used a little more)
2 tablespoons lemon juice

1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup quick cooking oats (I used a little more)
1/4 cup ground walnuts (I use almonds, plus it adds texture if some of
them are just chopped, not ground)
1/2 cup butter

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375. Peel apples and pears and cut into 1/2 inch cubes. Combine with dried cranberries, 1 tablespoon flour, honey, and lemon juice. Place mixture in a greased 8x8 inch square baking dish. (I also sprinkled cinnamon over fruit mixture).

2. Blend together 1/2 cup flour, brown sugar, oats, nuts, and butter until crumbly. Do not overmix. Sprinkle flour mixture over fruit.

3.Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes or until brown and crisp on top. About 6 servings. And about 432 calories.

Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream and enjoy!
