How to Make Any Berry Crisp

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a glass baking dish or deep pie dish (approximately 8x8 inches or 9-inch pie plate), combine 4 cups of frozen mixed berries (or 4 cups fresh berries), 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/8 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup rolled oats, 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  4. Cut in 1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  5. Add 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional).
  6. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the berries.
  7. Dot the top with 1 tablespoon of additional cold butter (optional).
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  9. Let cool slightly before serving.
  10. Serve warm or cold, with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream (optional).

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
