I made this ah-mazing crisp over Memorial Day Weekend and after one bite I knew I needed to share the recipe with you all!
It has been some time since I’ve made a crisp and this one immediately made me wonder what I’ve been doing all these years? Even my hubby, who is a self proclaimed fruit (and veggi es) hater, ate approximately 3/4 of this (very large) pan. The berries are cooked to perfect tenderness, with juices spilling out everywhere. Topped with a thick oatmeal and brown sugar crust, this simple and classic crisp is truly hard to beat. Somehow this crisp is decadent yet light and juicy, perfect for even the warmest of Summer days.
But perhaps what I love most about this recipe is the adaptability. The recipe gives you a solid base, but as the Summer progresses feel free to switch out the berries for whichever fruit is most ripe or whatever you have on hand. I can’t wait to get some rhubarb in there and maybe even some nectarines. Oh, yes please.
