I could easily eat a quart of berries in one sitting. I love all kinds of berries and it seems you can always get fresh berries from somewhere. In the fall we make a cranberry apple crisp and this is a spinoff on that recipe except maybe even better. If you’re entertaining you can put this together fairly quickly and it can be cooking while you are getting everything else together. For an extra treat add a scoop of vanilla ice cream!

Berry Apple Crisp

1 cup blueberries
1 cup sliced strawberries
3 chopped peeled tart apples
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
3 tablespoons water

Topping

3/4 cup instant oats
1/4 cup flour
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 stick butter

Heat stove to 350 degrees

Mix berries, apples, sugar and water in a large bowl. Be gentle with the berries, but do not worry if the blueberries pop!

Melt butter on the stove completely. Mix with oats, flour, and sugar.

Pour berry apple mixture into a glass baking pan. I used two 3″ ramekins and a 8×8″ square pan. If you are interested in only one dessert use a 11×17″ pan! Gently cover the berry apple mixture with the topping. There should be enough topping to thinly cover the berry apple mixture.

Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes and, then, enjoy!
