Instructions

For the Berry Mixture

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
In a large mixing bowl, add the frozen berries and sprinkle the cornstarch and sugar over the top. Add the lemon juice and then toss to evenly coat.
Transfer the mixed berry mixture to a 9" x 9" baking dish, or a 10" cast iron skillet.

For the Oat Topping

In the bowl of a stand mixer, add the softened butter, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and oats. Mix on low speed until the mixture forms about 1/2" chunks.
Using your fingers, sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the berry mixture.
Bake in a preheated oven for 35-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the mixture is bubbly.
Remove from the oven and serve warm with vanilla ice cream or fresh whipped cream. Enjoy!

Notes

Storing leftovers: cover any leftover berry crisp with aluminum foil and store at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Reheating: either microwave or reheat in a 350 degree oven for about 15 minutes, or until warmed through.

Freezing: if you want to freeze, I recommend freezing the oat topping and fruit mixture separately in airtight containers for up to 2 months. When you want to bake your crisp, pull from the freezer and transfer to a baking dish before baking as directed.
