Mixed Berry Crisp – Gluten Free

Mixed Berry Crisp is the perfect recipe for anyone, even if you are a beginner baker. The crisp is so easy to make, and it turns out juicy and flavorful. The Mixed Berry Crisp can be made with your favorite berries. I like using a mix of raspberries and blueberries. The berries are topped with an almond oatmeal crisp that is sweet and a bit crunchy. You can make the same recipe using apples, pears, peaches or juicy plums. The topping is my favorite part, and the almonds add such a nice flavor and crunch. Served warm with ice cream, this delicious crisp is a hit with everyone!

Tips and Tricks to make the best Mixed Berry Crisp:

• First, use any berries that you like: raspberries, blueberries or raspberries.
• The recipe also works great with stone fruit like peaches and plums.
• I used FRESH berries. You can use frozen berries, make sure you thaw them, and drain of any water excess.
• Use gluten free oats for a gluten free version of the crisp.
• Also, make sure you refrigerate the crisp topping, its the most important step, please don’t skip it.
• In addition, do not skip the cornstarch as well, it will reduce the water content of the fruits and create that delicious, sticky texture.
• The almonds can be skipped if you are allergic, or they can be replaced with other chopped nuts.
• Bake the crisp to golden perfection and serve warm with ice cream!

Tools/Ingredients I used to make this Mixed Berry Crisp Recipe:

• Cornstarch – I prefer using cornstarch instead of flour to thicken sauces, and this organic brand is my favorite
• Cast Iron Skillet – get one and you will use it forever. I like that it heats evenly and consistently and that it comes pre-seasoned for the first use.
• Blanched Slivered Almonds – can be used as a snack, added to salad and many desserts.
