Triple Berry Crisp
Warm mixed berries topped with crispy oats, make this Triple Berry Crisp a delicious fruit dessert! Serve it with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream or all by its self. It’s delicious and a must have this season!
I need to ask you all a very serious question today. Are you a cobbler or crisp person? Or are you a dare devil and like both?
In our house you’re either one or the other. I’m not sure why that is, but it just is. In fact almost everyone in our house is a crisp person. Maybe it’s because we didn’t grow up where there was cobbler being made every summer.
But to be honest with you all, I’m just not that fond of cobbler. It’s good don’t get me wrong, but it’s not my favorite fruit dessert. Maybe if I kept eating it, I’d fall in love with it. But I gotta tell yea, if there was a choice between cobbler and crisp, hands down I would always pick a crisp over a cobbler. I just love the combination of oats and fruits. Yum!
In fact one of the many reasons I love summer is because you get all the fresh berries you want. I know that berries are pretty much available year round now a days, but there’s nothing better than some juicy strawberries, blueberries and raspberries. Summer just has the best fruits. Watermelon, peaches, nectarines, plums, mangos and the list keeps going and going.
My hubby was having some friends over from work last weekend and of course I had to make some sort of dessert so I thought why not a crisp. I wanted something fresh and light, but also pretty easy to make. I had enough cooking and cleaning to do around the house, so I needed something that was quick, but full of flavor and would WOW our guests.
Boy oh boy did this crisp turn out amazing. What sets this crisp apart from the other millions out there, is the layering process. You spread half of the crisp in the bottom of the baking dish, then the triple berries and last but not least, the remaining crisp on top. Bake, scoop and eat. It’s that easy.
Hope you all enjoy this crisp as much as I do. In fact I had this crisp for leftovers for 3 days and it was amazing day after day. In fact I think I might need to make some today.

Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, quartered

- 1 1/2 cups fresh raspberries
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 4 tablespoons granulated sugar
- pinch of salt
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups old fashioned oats
- 1 1/2 cups brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 1/4 cups butter, cold and cubed
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a large bowl, lightly mix together the berries, cornstarch, sugar and salt. Set aside until ready to use.
- In a separate large bowl, combine the flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. Mix well. Using a pastry blender, fork or your hands cut in the cubed cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Press half of the flour/oats mixture into the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish.

Crisps are one of my favorite fruit desserts! This looks amazing, Cyndi! You are definitely reminding me that I need to make more crisps this year. I love that crumbly topping! And the more berries, the better! Pinned!
Thank you Gayle!! I love crisps too. Now I’m craving this. 😉
this looks so good Cyndi! Send some over please? I wish this was my breakfast today! *drooling*
Haha I send it over asap! Or better yet lets get together and you can teach me your indian food ways and I’ll make this in exchange? Deal? 😉
Oh I LOVE berry crisps like this – with vanilla ice cream too!
Me too Kelly!
I like both cobblers and crisps! This looks perfect! Wish I had some right now 🙂
Thank you Mira!
This crisp is triple the goodness! Love all the crispy top and that filling 🙂
Thank you Medha!
I don’t discriminate when it comes to fruit desserts, give me them all!
Agreed Gina! 🙂
I lean on the crispy side. Although I could do cobbler with my eyes shut too 🙂
Glad to know I’m not the only one that likes my crips crispy! 🙂
I love berry crisps Cyndi, so this looks incredible to me!
Thank you Kristi! 🙂
I love how much crisp topping there is!! There is never enough crisp topping, but I think this recipe nailed it!!
Thank you Beth!
Oh my goodness! I could not believe the insane ratio. I split the topping in half before I even started because it was so much. Then only ended up using half of the half I made, and it honestly was still too much for me! It is a good recipe though! The ratio is just nuts. I’d double the fruit part and use 1/4 of the crisp part. That’s totally just my personal taste but I love berries. Also, a tablespoon of cornstarch is not enough to thicken that amount of fruit. Depending on how thick you like it, 2-3 will work much better.

Just made this today for the family and it was a big hit! Thanks for a great recipe 🙂
You’re so welcome Heather! So happy you all loved it!
Hi Cyndi, can this fruit crisp be made with frozen berries, in the off season? If so, any adjustments required?
Hi Pat. I’ve never tried using frozen berries, but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work. My only concern would be the extra moisture from the berries, but other than that they should work perfectly. You could always defrost them before you cook them in the crisp. Let me know how it works out. Happy Baking! 🙂
Does the crumble on the bottom get mushy or crisp? Thank you
It should be crisp. Hope you enjoy it!
