Berry Crisp
The berry part (measurements are approximate)…
- a bunch of berries (I use a loaf pan and filled it about 2/3's full)
- juice of one orange and some orange rind
- a bit of brown sugar
- about 1/3 cup corn starch
- 3/4 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
The topping part…
- about 1/2 cup brown sugar
- about 1/3 cup almonds (slivered or pieces)
- about 1/3 cup oatmeal (the long cooking kind)
- about 1/2 cup white flour
- about 1/4 cup whole wheat flour
- about 1/2 cup butter
Directions
- Mix the berry part and put into a pan
- Mix the topping part so that it is a combination of sticking together and some still dry.
- Put the topping on the berries and bake in an oven 350 for about 45 minutes.
You will know it is done when you can smell it and see the juices bubbling!!
Good warm or cold
