Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Mixed berries (fresh or frozen, thawed and drained if using frozen)
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 cup Old-fashioned oats
- 0.5 cup Whole wheat flour
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar, lightly packed
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.25 cup Almonds, sliced
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened applesauce
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large bowl, combine the mixed berries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Mix gently until the berries are evenly coated. Let the mixture sit while you prepare the topping.
In another bowl, mix together the oats, whole wheat flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, sliced almonds, and a pinch of salt.
Add the unsweetened applesauce to the oat mixture. Stir until the mixture forms a crumbly texture and all the dry ingredients are moistened.
Pour the berry mixture into an 8-inch square baking dish, spreading it evenly.
Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the berries.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the berry filling is bubbly.
Allow the crisp to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with a dollop of low-fat yogurt or frozen yogurt, if desired.
