Triple Berry Crisp

Berries were on sale, and I've been itching for some comfort food for the last few weeks. So along with making some more scones tonight (for some people at work), I decided to throw together a berry crisp. I had some leftover pecans that I toasted for the chocolate scones, so I decided to throw them into the crumble (traditionally, I usually throw in slivered or ground almonds).


Triple Berry Crisp

Berry Mix:
1 pint raspberries, washed
1 pint blackberries, washed
1 cup fresh cranberries, washed
1 tbsp white sugar

Topping:
¼ cup oats
¼ cup flour
¼ cup brown sugar
¼ cup pecans, toasted and crumbled
¼ cup butter
½ tsp cinnamon

Combine washed berries with sugar, tossing to coat all evenly. Pour into baking dish.

In a bowl, combine oats, flour, brown sugar, pecans, and cinnamon. Add butter, mixing with your fingers to break it down into pea-sized bits until the entire mixture crumbly. Sprinkle oatmeal mixture over top of berry mixture in dish.

Bake in the center of the oven at 375F until crumble is turning a deep brown color, about 45 minutes. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
