Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the strawberries, blackberries, honey, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Stir gently to coat the berries evenly and set aside.
In a separate bowl, mix the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt together.
Add the unsweetened applesauce and vanilla extract to the oat mixture. Use a fork or your hands to combine until the mixture forms a crumbly texture.
Transfer the berry mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the fruit mixture to cover it completely.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.
Serve warm on its own or with a dollop of low-fat yogurt or a small scoop of your favorite non-dairy frozen dessert.
