Broiled Grapefruit Crisp

Broiled Grapefruit Crisp pairs warm, caramelized citrus with a toasty oat-brown sugar crown and a hint of cinnamon. The tart-sweet balance and buttery crunch make it a lively breakfast or light dessert, especially welcome on cool mornings or after a rich meal. It’s bright, aromatic, and satisfying without feeling heavy.

Broiled Grapefruit Crisp
  1. 1

    Preheat the oven broiler and position the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.

  2. 2

    Remove any visible seeds from the grapefruit and use a sharp knife to loosen the sections from the membrane. Set the grapefruit halves cut side up in a baking dish.

  3. 3

    In a small bowl, stir together the oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt; add the butter and mash with a fork to work the oat mixture into the butter. Spread about half of the butter mixture over the top of each grapefruit half.

  4. 4

    Broil until the topping turns golden brown, about 10 minutes.
