Fresh Apricot Crisp
Photography: Photo: Thomas J. Story; Styling: Dan Becker; 
A crunchy topping sets off Blenheims--so flavorful you don't have to add much to them. Prep and Cook Time: about 1 hour. Notes: If using supermarket apricots, cut each into quarters, increase lemon juice to 2 tbsp. and granulated sugar to 1/2 cup, and mix a pinch each of cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg into the fruit before baking.
