Peach Pecan Crisp Ala Mode

Tonight we're making Peach Pecan Crisp... and it will be served ala mode. Here's the recipe I use from Deborah Madison's 'Local Flavors' cookbook.

combine:
2 1/2 lbs of fruit (the recipe is apricot and cherry which is the very best)
2 tbs sugar
1 tbs minute tapioca
1/8 tsp almond extract (not important)
set aside in 2 1/2 qt. gratin dish

mix well:
cube of butter
3/4 cup brown sugar
2/3 cup flour
1/2 cup oatmeal
1/4 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp fresh ground nutmeg
1 tsp cinnamon

I add about 1/2 cup of broken pecans.

put the crisp topping over the fruit and bake at 375 for 40 minutes...
