Summer Berry Crisp!
These individual little berry crisps are the cutest way to serve your berry crisp. Could you make a large pan of these scrumptious summer sweet? Of course. But, if you’re going on a picnic, serving a large group of people, or enjoying any meal this summer outdoors, serving this dessert in mason jars is genius.
A Crumble, Crisp, or Cobbler?
A cobbler includes a fresh fruit base topped with oat-studded biscuits.
A crisp also includes a fresh fruit base, but it’s topped with an oat and nut streusel.
A crumble features a butter, flour, and sugar-based streusel. It’s basically a crisp without the nuts or oats.
How To Make Summer Berry Crisp
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Combine all the ingredients for the berry mixture in a large bowl, tossing to combine.
- Transfer mixture to six 8 ounce, wide mouth mason jars.
- Combine all ingredients for the oatmeal crumble topping in a food processor, and pulse until crumbly and combined.
- Spoon oatmeal mixture on top of jars with berry mixture. Bake for 20 – 25 minutes until berries are bubbling and cooked through, and oatmeal topping is browned.
- If traveling with these, allow to cool slightly before securing lids. These may be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days – reheat before serving (or they’re great at room temperature!).
