Triple Berry Crisp

We made this crisp with some leftover berries we had in the freezer. You know, that big Costco bag of frozen berries, it's PERFECT for this recipe. Fresh berries are often more expensive anyway, so that's why we decided to develop this recipe for you. We don't need groceries costing more than they already do...anyway...

So what's the difference between a crumble, a crisp and a cobbler? Well, I'll tell ya!

CRISP: A deep-dish fruit dessert, refers to a fruit filling with a streusel topping made from sugar, flour, and butter. A crisp's topping usually includes oats, which crisp up during baking and give it more of a crunch.

COBBLER: The most well known version in America, a cobbler is a deep-dish fruit dessert that is topped off with a biscuit dough. The topping may either cover the entire dish or be dropped on by the spoonful, allowing the fruit to peek through and earning it the name "cobbler" for its resemblance to a cobblestone street. Some will even use batter in place of biscuit dough.

CRUMBLE: A crumble is just a crisp without the oats in the streusel. It may feature nuts, but the streusel topping is usually a combination of butter, flour, and sugar.

TIPS:

This dessert is best esrved the day of, so after baking, leave it room temperature.

Don't put it in the fridge! It will be fine if you have a get together hours after you bake it. It's not going to go bad in a few hours, but it will taste bad if you put it in the fridge and try to bake it again! It's going to dry out.

Heat leftovers in the microwave, any more oven time is just too drying.

This pairs wonderfully with fresh whipped cream or cinnamon ice cream! Yum!
