"Crisp are the perfect, no-fuss dessert for hosting friends and family! They're fresh, flavorful, and hands down one of the easiest desserts to make (i.e. you’re guaranteed to look like a baking rockstar).
When hosting, prepare the crisp before your guests arrive and pop it in the oven as you’re serving the main course for a fresh-from-the-oven treat everyone will love. Be sure to serve warm with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.
I prefer to make this crisp with an equal amount of blueberries and blackberries, but you can customize the recipe to your liking - just make sure you use 4 cups of berries total. Happy baking!"

ingredients
- 2 cups blueberries
- 2 cups blackberries
- 2 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons lemon zest
- 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 cup old fashioned oats
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup sliced almonds
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon turbinado sugar
Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Rinse and dry berries, removing any stems still attached.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, mix together berries, lemon juice, lemon zest, 1/4 cup brown sugar, cornstarch, and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon. Place mixture in a 9x9 baking dish.
Step 3
In a large bowl, mix together oats, flour, almonds, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon and salt. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt butter and pour on top of dry ingredients. Mix thoroughly.
Step 4
Evenly distribute the oat topping over the berry mixture. Sprinkle turbinado sugar over the top of the crisp for added texture (optional).
Step 5
Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until the oat topping is golden brown and the berries are actively bubbling around the edges of your pan.
Step 6
Let your crisp rest for 5 minutes. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
