BERRY CRISP

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat a 9×13 baking dish with nonstick spray, set aside.
• In a large bowl mix together the oats, flour, sugar, and salt. Mix in the butter with your hands or a pastry cutter until mixture form crumbs when squeezed together.
• Place berries in another large bowl. Stir in the sugar, juice, and vanilla into the berries. Sprinkle the flour on top of the berries and toss to coat.
• Place the berry mixture into the prepared pan, and sprinkle with the oat mixture evenly.
• Bake for 45 minutes, until the top is golden and the berries are bubbly.

TRIPLE BERRY CRISP

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a large bowl, gently toss together blackberries, raspberries, blueberries, and white sugar; set aside.
• In a separate large bowl, combine flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Cut in butter until crumbly. Press half of mixture in the bottom of a 9x13 inch pan. Cover with berries. Sprinkle remaining crumble mixture over the berries.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes, or until fruit is bubbly and topping is golden brown.

BERRY CRISP WITH PLUMS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. For the filling: Combine the berries and plums in a mixing bowl. Add the brown sugar, flour, cinnamon and salt, and toss to coat. If your fruit is super sweet and in season, you may need less sugar. Pile the fruit mixture into four 8-ounce ramekins. For the topping: Combine the flour, brown sugar, oats and salt in a large mixing bowl. Next, cut in the butter with a pastry cutter or two forks, making sure that the butter stays chilled so you end up with a crumbly texture. Mix in the chopped pecans and spread evenly over the fruit. Bake until crisp and golden brown, 25 minutes. Allow the crisp to cool 20 minutes. Serve alongside ginger gelato.

INDIVIDUAL BERRY CRISPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Place the frozen berries, sugar, cornstarch and 1/2 cup of the crisp topping into a medium mixing bowl and stir to combine. Divide the mixture evenly between 4 (7 to 8-ounce) ramekins. Top each ramekin with 1/2 cup of the remaining crisp topping. Place the ramekins on a sheet pan and bake on the middle rack of the oven for 30 to 35 minutes or until the fruit is bubbling and the topping is browned. Allow the crisps to cool for 15 minutes before serving.
• 5 ounces all-purpose flour, approximately 1 cup
