Ingredients

Topping

  • 1/2 cup slivered almonds
  • 3/4 cup old fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt (a pinch)
  • 4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, diced
  • 2 tablespoons honey

Fruit Filling

  • 3 cups fresh berries (such as blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8-inch square baking dish or similar size.
  2. Make the Crisp Topping: In a mixing bowl, combine slivered almonds, rolled oats, and pinch of salt. Add the cold unsalted butter. Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the honey until well mixed and slightly sticky.
  3. Assemble the Crisp: Spread the fresh berries evenly in the prepared baking dish. Evenly sprinkle the almond-oat topping over the berries, covering them completely.
  4. Bake the Crisp: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 25 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and crispy and the berry juices are bubbling around the edges.
  5. Cool and Serve: Remove the crisp from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes to set slightly. Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.

Notes

  • Use a mix of berries for more depth of flavor and color.
  • The cold butter is key to creating a crumbly topping texture.
  • Honey adds natural sweetness but can be adjusted or substituted by maple syrup for a different flavor profile.
  • Leftovers can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated before serving.
  • For a gluten-free version, ensure the oats are certified gluten-free.
