Blackberry (or whatever fruit you choose) Crisp

Our freezer is overflowing and we both had a sweet tooth tonight so after referring to our ever trusty Better Homes & Gardens Cookbook we decided to make Blackberry Crisp. We have tons of frozen blackberries in our freezer and need to use some of them but any fruit of choice could be used. This is a super easy, quick, flexible, forgiving and yummy dessert!

Recipe:

4-5 cups fruit (berries, peaches, pears, apples, etc.). If frozen thaw and drain some of the juice.
2-4 Tbsp sugar
1/2 cup oats
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (or cinnamon or ginger)
1/4 cup butter or margarine
1/4 cup chopped nuts

Place fruit in 2 -quart baking dish, stir in granulated sugar.
For topping: combine oats, brown sugar, flour and nutmeg in medium bowl. Cut in butter until mixture resembles course crumbs. Stir in nuts.
Sprinkle topping over fruit.
Bake at 375 degrees for 30-40 minutes or until fruit is tender and topping golden.

Recommend serving warm with vanilla ice cream.
Enjoy!
