This is a great combination for the ever popular fruit crisp. It fills the whole house with its delectable aroma. Delicious on it’s own or dressed up for company with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a dollop of whipped cream, or yogurt on top it will elicit “ohhs and ahhs”. It is definitely “moreish”. I like to serve it in individual soufflé dishes heated in the oven. “Oh Wayan, do we have any apples?”

- 8 dried apricots, chopped
- 8 dried figs, cut into 6 pieces each
