Triple Berry Crisp
Description
Triple Berry Crisp uses a blend of raspberries, blackberries, and blueberries tossed with flour, sugar, salt, lemon juice, and vanilla to create a flavorful berry filling. The topping combines rolled oats, flour, granulated and brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and melted butter, giving a soft but textured layer that crisps in the oven's heat. After baking at 350 degrees until golden brown, the dessert rests to set.
The contrast between the tart, juicy berry layer and the sweet, spiced oat topping creates a pleasing balance of textures and flavors. The lemon juice and vanilla support the berries' brightness while cinnamon adds warmth to the topping. Serving with vanilla ice cream adds creaminess complementing the crisp.
Make-ahead tips include baking and cooling completely before covering with foil for storage, as refrigerated unbaked crisp topping may become soggy. The crisp can also be frozen up to three months, then reheated in the oven. Using frozen berries standardizes baking time, while fresh berries may require shorter baking.
Ingredients
Crumble Topping:
- 1 cup rolled oats old-fashioned
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- salt dash
- 2/3 cup butter melted, unsalted
Berry Filling:
- 4 1/2 cups berries raspberries, blackberries and blueberries, frozen
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Make the topping first by combining the oats, flour, sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt. Stir to combine.
- Pour in the melted butter and stir to incorporate. Set aside.
- In another bowl add the frozen berries, flour, sugar, salt, lemon juice and vanilla extract and toss gently to combine.
- Pour mixture into an 8x8’’ or similar size casserole dish or pie plate. Glob the topping ingredients evenly over the top (I say “glob” because the mixture will be softer than your normal dry crumble topping, because of the melted butter).
- Bake for 40-45 minutes until the topping is golden brown and berries are bubbling around the edges.
- Remove from the oven, place on a wire rack, and allow to cool for at least 7-10 minutes before serving. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.
- Cover leftovers and store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Notes
- This recipe uses a frozen mix of raspberries, blackberries, and blueberries but you can substitute fresh berries, reducing baking time slightly.
- To prepare ahead, bake and cool the crisp completely, then cover with foil; avoid storing unbaked in the fridge to prevent soggy topping.
- The dessert freezes well for up to three months; thaw overnight in the refrigerator before warming in a 350°F oven for 20-25 minutes.
