Ridiculously Easy Summer Berry Crisp
Description
Ridiculously Easy Summer Berry Crisp combines generous amounts of blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries tossed with fresh lemon juice, flour, and sugar to create a sweet and slightly tart fruit base. The crumble topping, made with salted butter, almond flour, all-purpose flour, and sugar, lends a nutty, crumbly texture once baked. Baking the crisp at 350 degrees Fahrenheit ensures the topping becomes light golden while the berries bubble underneath, indicating they've softened and released their juices.
The dessert delivers a pleasant contrast between the tender, juicy fruit and the crisp, buttery topping. Serving it warm enhances the experience, especially when accompanied by a scoop of vanilla ice cream that softens the berries' acidity and adds richness.
This recipe serves 8 to 10 and includes a tip to check the crisp after 40 minutes; if the topping browns too quickly before the berries bubble, covering it with foil prevents burning while completing the bake. It’s an efficient way to bring seasonal berries into a simple, satisfying dessert without elaborate preparation.
Ingredients
- For the fruit layer:
- 8 cups berries can be all one kind or a combination of blueberries, blackberries and raspberries
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice fresh
- ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup sugar
- For the crumble topping:
- ½ cup butter (I use salted)
- ¾ cup almond flour
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350˚Line a sheet pan with foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup and set aside.
- Combine berries in a large bowl. Add the lemon juice, flour and sugar over the berries and stir gently until flour is incorporated. Transfer berries to a 2-quart baking dish.
- Place butter in a medium-size, microwave-safe bowl. Cover with a paper towel and microwave on high power for 1 minute.
- Combine all topping ingredients in a large bowl. Stir with a fork until crumbles form. Take handfuls of the topping and sprinkle over the top of the berries. Place pan on the prepared sheet pan.
- Bake for 45-55 minutes or until topping is light golden brown and berries are bubbly. Check after 40 minutes and cover with foil if the topping is getting too brown but the berries still are not bubbly.
- Serve warm in bowls with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Schmakalaka!
Notes
- For best results, use a combination of fresh berries or single berry types to suit your taste.
- Keep an eye on the crumble topping as it bakes and cover with foil if it browns too fast before the berries become bubbly.
- Serve warm with vanilla ice cream for a classic pairing.
