A Favorite Summer Dessert

Light and delicious, berry crisp is easy to make.
Prep the topping ahead of time and store it in the freezer, when a craving hits, sprinkle it over fruit and bake.
Enjoy fruit crisp warm or chilled. It’s delish fresh from the oven or the next day straight from the fridge; the topping stays crisp.

Ingredients for Berry Crisp

Berries – Use a mix of fresh berries including strawberries, blueberries, blackberries and/or raspberries . No time for prep? Simply toss in a bag of frozen triple berry medley!

Streusel Topping – Mix and match the topping ingredients for more or less sweetness, switch pecans for walnuts and use your favorite gluten-free baking mix for the flour. For best results, use rolled oats instead of instant so they keep their firm texture in the topping.

Variations – Sprinkle on homemade granola or add a dash of pumpkin pie spice or homemade cinnamon sugar.

Berry crisp can be made with frozen berries. If baking frozen fruit, add 15 minutes of cooking time and add 1 additional tablespoon of flour.

If the topping starts to brown too soon, gently cover the dish with foil (don’t seal the foil, just lay it over top)
