Serving Crisps
Crisps, crumbles, grunts, and cobblers are all made of a fruit filling topped with a crunchy or cake-like topping. Serve them warm, placed in dessert dishes with whipped cream, ice cream, or hard sauce to melt onto the crisp. To make hard sauce, combine ½ cup butter with 1 cup powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla, and 2 tablespoons cream or rum, and beat well.
