Berry Crisp
Description
This Berry Crisp mixes a variety of fresh berries tossed with sugar, vanilla, and cornstarch to create a thickened, fruit-filled base. The topping combines brown and white sugar, flour, and butter to form a crumbly mixture that melts and crisps in the oven. Baking at a moderate temperature allows the fruit juices to bubble and the topping to turn a light golden color.
The result is a dessert with warm, bursting berries balanced by a textured, buttery topping. The cornstarch helps stabilize the filling, keeping it from becoming too watery. Serving it slightly cooled helps the crisp set, and pairing with vanilla bean ice cream enhances its creamy goodness.
Using fresh berries is recommended for the best flavor and texture. This crisp is suitable as a comforting dessert throughout berry season and lends itself well to leftovers enjoyed warm or reheated.
Ingredients
Berry Filling:
- 1 cup raspberry
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1 cup strawberries (cut into quarters)
- 1 cup blackberry
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 Tablespoon cornstarch
Berry Crumble Topping:
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 cup flour
- 8 Tablespoons butter (cut into cubes)
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place berries, sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla in a bowl. Toss to coat.
- In a small bowl, mix the flour, brown sugar, and sugar. Cut in 8 Tablespoons (1 cube) of cold butter, cut into cubes, with a fork or pastry cutter until it is combined. You may end up with chunks of butter and that is okay as the butter will melt in the oven
- Place the berry mixture in a 9-inch baking dish. Top with crumble. Bake for 26-32 minutes or until the berry crisp is a light golden color and the berry juices starts to bubble.
- Let cool for at least 10-15 minutes before serving to allow it to set up. Serve with vanilla bean ice cream.
Notes
- Use fresh berries for optimal flavor and texture in the filling.
- Allow the crisp to cool 10-15 minutes after baking for the filling to set properly.
