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.
