Units
Oat Almond Crisp Topping
- 3/4 cup all purpose flour
- 3/4 cup thick rolled oats
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/2 - 1 teaspoon cinnamon or other warming spice (- depending on how much spice you like)
- 1/2 cup butter +1 tablespoon (for skillet) (- cold and cut into 1/4" cubes)
- 1/2 cup sliced almonds
Mixed Berry Filling
- 2 cups Marionberries or blackberries
- 2 cups raspberries
- 2 cup blueberries
- 1/4 - 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 medium lemon (- zested & juiced)
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1-2 tablespoons tapioca flour, corn starch or all purpose flour
Instructions
Oat Almond Crisp Topping
- Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and heat to 350°F. Coat a 9-10 inch round skillet or pie dish or or 11x7-inch baking dish with 1 tablespoon softened or melted butter and set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, combine flour, oats, brown sugar, salt and cinnamon. Toss or whisk together. Then use your hands to smoosh the butter into the mix until you have a rough and crumbly dough. Add the sliced almond and squish together until combined.
- Place the crisp topping in the refrigerator or freezer to chill while you prepare the berry filling.
Mixed Berry Filling
- Combine the berries with the juice and zest of 1 lemon, sugar and salt and in a large mixing bowl and gently stir together. Allow the fruit to sit for about 10 minutes while the juices release.
- Stir in 1-2 tablespoons tapioca flour, corn starch or all purpose flour (depending on how juicy the berries are, the juicier they are the more thickener you'll need) and let sit for about 3 minutes to thicken.
- Pour the berry mixture into the buttered skillet or baking dish. Crumble the chilled crisp topping evenly over the top of the berry filling. Place on a lined baking sheet, to catch any juices that bubble over.
Bake & Serve
- Bake for 40-45 minutes until the berries are bubbling, the topping is crispy and the color is a deep golden brown.
- Allow to cool for at least 30 minutes before diving in.
- Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
- The crisp topping can be made in advance. Store in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to a month.
- You can swap in frozen fruit for fresh but it may be juicier and require additional tapioca flour to thicken the filling.
- The cooled crisp can be covered and refrigerated for up to 4-5 days. Serve cold, at room temperature, or re-warmed in the oven at 300°F for for about 20 minutes.
