Berry or Apple Crisp (or both!)

Here's the recipe for the crisp I make quite often. I tend to use whatever fresh fruit I have on hand, often mixed with some frozen (we pick berries every summer and end up with copious amounts in the freezer - enough to last all year!). Strawberry, blueberry, blackberry is my personal favourite. Straight up apple works with this recipe, but apple-strawberry is even better! The ingredients and amounts are super easy to remember! I know there is a fair amount of sugar in this - but it has fruit, too....so it's healthy, right?! :) Enjoy!

Fruit Crisp
  • Enough fruit (sliced if desired) to generously fill the bottom of a 9x9 pan
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup softened butter
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease 9x9 pan.
2. Place washed (and cut) fruit into an even layer in pan (fruit doesn't have to be thawed).
3. In a large bowl, mix flour, oats, sugar and cinnamon together. Work soft butter into dry ingredients with your hands (it will be paste-like). Drop mixture over fruit, creating an even layer.
4. Bake in pre-heated oven for about 30 minutes (topping should be lightly brown and the fruit bubbling up at the edges).
5. Serve warm, topped w/ ice cream and/or whip cream, if desired. Enjoy!
