Mixed Berry Crisp
An easy mixed berry crisp made with frozen fruit so you can enjoy it all year long!
I feel like crisps tend to be a dessert most people enjoy during the warmer months. But you know what? I love fruit crisps and think they should be enjoyed all year long. So my little secret to be able to do that is to use frozen fruit. Honestly, no one can ever tell the difference. Plus, frozen fruit is a lot easier and cheaper than buying fresh berries.
The great thing about this recipe is that you only need just a few ingredients to make it. It’s so easy that I usually have it ready by the time my oven is preheated. Fruit crisp for the win!
When making crisps, I like to start with the topping first. For the topping, you’ll need some flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and butter. A little tip when making the topping, whisk the dry ingredients together first (minus the oats). Then, cut in your cold butter and stir in the oats at the end so you don’t chop them up into tiny pieces. The topping literally takes 5 minutes to throw together, it’s almost too easy.
And then comes the fruit filling on the bottom. For the filling, you’ll just need some frozen mixed berries, sugar, and a little flour to help thicken it. You can use any type of berries like strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, or raspberries. And yes, you can use fresh fruit too.
The crisp takes about 40 minutes in the oven, which is really the hardest part about making this recipe. I suggest letting it cool for just a bit, then serving it with a big scoop of ice cream or whipped cream.
Mixed Berry Crisp
Ingredients
For the topping:
- 1/2 cup (65 grams) all-purpose flour (spooned & leveled)
- 3/4 cup (150 grams) brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (115 grams) cold unsalted butter, cubed into small pieces
- 1 cup (100 grams) old-fashioned rolled oats
For the filling:
- 5 cups (700 grams) mixed berries, frozen or fresh
- 1/3 cup (65 grams) granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup (31 grams) all-purpose flour, spooned & leveled
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9-inch round pie plate with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
To make the topping:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Add in the cold cubed pieces of butter and cut into the mixture with a pastry cutter (or two forks) until you have small pea sized crumbs. Stir in the rolled oats and set aside.
To make the filling:
- In a separate large mixing bowl, add the berries, sugar, and flour and mix until all of the berries are well coated. Pour the mixture into the prepared pie plate and spread it around into one even layer. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the fruit.
- Bake at 350°F for 40-45 minutes or until the filling is bubbly and the topping is lightly golden brown. Remove from the oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly before serving.
