Essential Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:

• Mixed Berries: Use a combination of fresh strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries for the best flavor and texture.
• Granulated Sugar: Sweeten the berries just enough to enhance their natural sweetness without overpowering them.
• All-Purpose Flour: This helps thicken the berry mixture while contributing to the crisp’s structure and crunch.
• Old-Fashioned Oats: Use rolled oats for a chewy texture that complements the tender berries beautifully.
• Brown Sugar: Adds depth and a slight caramel flavor to both the filling and topping.
• Cinnamon: Just a hint will elevate the flavor profile and add warmth to your mixed berry crisp.
• Butter: Melted butter binds everything together while providing richness; consider using unsalted for better control over saltiness.
• Vanilla Extract: A splash enhances all those lovely flavors; always opt for pure vanilla if possible.

Let’s Make it Together

Step into your kitchen and let’s whip up this delightful mixed berry crisp together!

Prepare Your Berry Mixture: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl, combine 4 cups of mixed berries with 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 2 tablespoons flour. Toss gently until well-coated.

Create Your Topping: In another bowl, mix 1 cup rolled oats with 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/3 cup melted butter, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/4 cup flour until crumbly. You want it to resemble wet sand.

Assemble Your Crisp: Spread the berry mixture evenly in a greased baking dish. Then sprinkle your oat mixture generously over top so every bite gets crispy goodness.

Bake to Perfection: Place your assembled dish into the preheated oven. Bake for about 30-35 minutes until bubbly and golden brown on top. The smell will be heavenly!

Cool Down (If You Can): Allow your mixed berry crisp to cool slightly before diving in—if you can resist! Serve warm or at room temperature.

Enjoying homemade desserts is one of life’s simple pleasures!

Perfecting the Cooking Process

Start by preparing the berry filling. Combine berries with sugar and lemon juice while preheating the oven to 350°F. Next, mix oats, flour, and butter for the topping before layering everything in a baking dish.

Add Your Touch

Customize your Mixed Berry Crisp by adding nuts like pecans or almonds for crunch. You can also swap in different fruits, like peaches or apples, for a unique flavor variation that suits your palate.

Storing & Reheating

Store leftover Mixed Berry Crisp in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. Reheat in a 350°F oven for about 10 minutes to restore its delightful crispiness.

I remember the first time I made this Mixed Berry Crisp; my friends devoured it in minutes! Their compliments still echo in my kitchen whenever I whip it up again.
