Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.
  • Mix all of the filling ingredients together in a large bowl, then spread into the baking pan.
  • Make the topping: Whisk the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon together in a medium bowl. Cut in the butter using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture becomes super crumbly. Stir in the oats. Sprinkle over filling.
  • Bake for 45 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit juices are bubbling around the edges. Remove from the oven, place on a wire rack, and allow to cool for at least 5 minutes before serving.
  • Serve warm, room temperature, or cold; plain or with salted caramel and/or vanilla ice cream.
  • Cover leftovers and store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Notes

Baked and cooled crisp freezes well for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator, then bake in a 350°F oven for 30 minutes or until heated through. You can prepare the crisp through step 3, then cover and refrigerate for up to 1 day before baking. The unbaked crisp can also be frozen for up to 3 months.
