Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 5 cups blackberries (fresh or frozen)
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups old-fashioned oats
- 0.75 cups light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish lightly with butter or non-stick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the blackberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Toss gently to coat the berries evenly, then transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish.
In another bowl, mix together the flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Pour the melted butter over the mixture and use a fork to stir until the topping resembles coarse crumbs.
Crumble the oat mixture evenly over the blackberry filling, ensuring the berries are mostly covered.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the blackberry filling is bubbling around the edges.
Remove the crisp from the oven and let it cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
