Ingredients

Berry Mixture

  • 5 cups mixed berries (raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, strawberries)
  • 1 tablespoon corn starch
  • 2 tablespoons sugar (Cane Sugar recommended)
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

Crumble Topping

  • 1/2 cup old fashioned oats
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar (Cane Sugar recommended)
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup light butter (melted, Land o’ Lakes suggested)
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the crisp.
  2. Prepare Berry Mixture: In a large bowl, toss the mixed berries with corn starch, sugar, and cinnamon until evenly coated. This will help thicken the juices during baking.
  3. Assemble Base: Pour the berry mixture into a round pie or tart dish, spreading it out evenly to form the base layer.
  4. Mix Crumble Ingredients: In a separate mixing bowl, combine the flour, oats, sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract, mixing them together thoroughly.
  5. Add Butter to Topping: Melt the light butter and pour it into the dry ingredients; stir until the mixture is evenly moistened and crumbly.
  6. Top the Berries: Using your fingers, sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the berry mixture to cover the entire surface.
  7. Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 40 minutes or until the berries are bubbling and cooked down, and the topping is nicely browned.

Notes

  • You can use fresh or frozen berries. If using frozen, do not thaw them before mixing.
  • For extra crunch in the topping, consider adding chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans.
  • Serve warm with a dollop of yogurt or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for added indulgence.
