Prep : 10 Total : 25 minutes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 4 cup mixed fresh berries such as raspberries, blueberries, and sliced strawberries
  • 0.75 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 0.75 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 0.75 cup almonds chopped, preferably toasted
  • 0.75 cup brown sugar packed
  • 0.75 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 cup butter cold, cut into small cubes

Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 8-inch square baking dish or 2-quart casserole.
  • In a large bowl, toss the mixed berries with granulated sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice until well coated. Transfer mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  • In the same bowl, combine flour, oats, almonds, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Add the cold butter cubes and use your hands or a fork to cut in until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Sprinkle the crumb mixture evenly over the berries. Press down slightly so that the topping holds together as it bakes.
  • Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit filling is bubbling around the edges.
  • Cool for 5–10 minutes before serving. Great warm, with or without a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Notes

For a nut-free version, substitute almonds with 1/2 cup of additional oats and 1/4 cup of sunflower seeds. Best served the day it's made, but can be reheated in the oven or microwave.
