Ingredients

Topping

1 cup rolled oats
3 Tablespoons all purpose flour
½ cup brown sugar
¾ teaspoons ground cinnamon
6 Tablespoons salted butter sliced
⅓ cup sliced almonds

Filling

8 ounces whole strawberries sliced in half
8 ounces blueberries
6 ounces blackberries
6 ounces raspberries
¾ cup granulated sugar
½ cup cornstarch

Instructions

Topping

In a medium bowl, stir together oats, flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
Cut in butter with a pastry cutter or fork (or use your fingers).
Mix in almonds. Set aside.

Filling

Heat oven to 350℉.
Spray an 11 inch round or 8 inch x 12 inch rectangular casserole with cooking spray. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries.
In a small bowl, whisk together sugar and cornstarch.
Pour over fruit mixture.
Gently mix until thoroughly combined.
Spoon into prepared casserole.
Add topping to cover the entire top.
Bake for 45 minutes, or until done.

Notes

Make sure your butter is cold when making the topping! You can also use a fork or a hand-mixer to mix in the butter.
Do NOT over-mix the filling. You need to be as careful as you can. If the berries burst and release all their juice, the crisp will not cook properly.
The crisp should be perfectly done after 45 minutes. To see if it's done, you can give it a small shake. If it's mostly set, then it should be ready to take out.
Make sure the topping coats the entire filling! You don't want any exposed berries.
As this cooks, it will rise slightly and then fall back down when you take it out of the oven.
This recipe can be made vegan if a non-dairy butter is used for the topping!
