Ingredients

  • dark brown sugar
    ¾ c
  • all-purpose flour
    ½ c
  • old-fashioned oats
    ½ c
  • butter

    softened

    ¼ c
  • tsps ground cinnamon

    3 g

    1 ½
  • table salt
    ¼ tsp
  • fresh cherries

    pitted

    2 lbs.
  • fresh raspberries
    1 ½ c
  • granulated sugar
    ¾ c
  • water
    1 c
  • tbsps cornstarch

    28 g

    3 ½
  • cooking spray
  • vanilla ice cream

    optional

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. 2

    In a medium bowl, combine the brown sugar, flour, oats, butter, cinnamon, and salt. Use your fingers to mix until the topping is crumbly. Set aside.

  3. 3

    In a large pot, combine the cherries, raspberries, sugar, water, and cornstarch. Bring to a low simmer over low heat, stirring often. Let simmer for about 10 minutes, gently breaking up some of the cherries as they soften. Remove from heat.

  4. 4

    Lightly spray eight 8-ounce (240ml) ramekins—or a 9x13-inch (23x33cm) baking dish—with cooking spray.

  5. 5

    Divide the fruit filling evenly among the ramekins, or spread it into the prepared baking dish.

  6. 6

    Spoon the oat topping over each ramekin, or evenly across the full surface of the baking dish. If using a 9x13, increase the topping ingredients by half for full coverage.

  7. 7

    Place ramekins or baking dish on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil to catch any bubbling fruit.

  8. 8

    Bake for 22 minutes, or until the filling is bubbling and the topping is golden.

  9. 9

    Remove from the oven and let sit for at least 20 minutes before serving to allow the filling to set.

  10. 10

    Serve warm or at room temperature with vanilla ice cream, if desired.

Customization & Serving

While this recipe shines with its classic combination, feel free to experiment with the balance of fresh cherries and raspberries to suit your preference for sweetness or tartness. You can also adjust the amount of ground cinnamon in the oat topping for a stronger spice note. For an extra touch of richness, serve this warm crisp with a scoop of creamy vanilla ice cream melting delightfully into the fruit.

This Fresh Cherry Berry Crisp is perfectly suited for a relaxed weeknight treat or a charming addition to a summer gathering. It’s designed to be effortlessly delicious, whether baked in a single dish or, as many enjoy, in individual ramekins for easy portioning and serving.
