How to Make Banana Crisp

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Butter a 9-inch pie pan or shallow baking dish.
  3. **Make the Topping:**
  4. In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1 cup rolled oats, 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, 1/2 cup shredded coconut, and 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces. Use your fingers to combine until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons orange liqueur (optional) and 1 tablespoon lime juice.
  6. Peel and slice bananas diagonally into 1/4-inch thick ovals.
  7. Arrange banana slices in a single, overlapping layer in the prepared baking dish. Drizzle with the lime juice mixture, then sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg and 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar.
  8. Evenly sprinkle the oat topping over the bananas.
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the bananas are bubbly and the topping is golden brown and crisp.
  10. Serve warm and enjoy with a dollop of fresh cream, vanilla yogurt, or a scoop of your favorite ice cream!
