So what is a berry crisp? Basically, this is an easy dessert of baked fruit with a crunchy flour, oat and sugar topping. Yeah, this mixed fruit crisp rocks!!
Whereas a cobbler is a deep-dish baked fruit dessert with a thick pie dough or biscuit dropped topping, a crisp isn’t so heavy.
I think of it as cobblers are winter food and berry crisps are summer and spring.

pro tips for perfect summer crisp
- You can use any combination of berry flavors you like in this easy crisp recipe. The bag of mixed berries sold in my grocery store is raspberries, blueberries and blackberries and it is my favorite mixture whenever I make this crisp.
- Grab a few bags of frozen berries when they are on sale so you always have them on hand.
- If you decide to use fresh berries, reduce the baking time by 5 minutes.
- Make sure you have 5-6 cups of fruit for your berry crisp.
frozen or fresh berries
This summer crisp recipe can be made using either fresh or frozen berries but I prefer frozen berries.
I choose to use frozen berries for my crisp because sometimes fresh berries aren’t in season or are hard to find.
Plus frozen berries are frozen at the peak of freshness so no icky past prime fruit in the mix.
I also try to grab a few bags when they are on sale so I always have them on hand in my freezer.
best berries for a berry crisp
I grabbed a bag of frozen mixed berries to make this recipe and it included blueberries, raspberries and blackberries.
I love the sweetness and tartness of those particular mixed berries together in this crisp recipe but you certainly can substitute the fruit choices if you have a specific preference.
Whatever fruit you decide on, just make sure you have 5-6 cups of berries for your crisp.
This is just food, after all… 🙂

Could this be mixed up a few hours in advance?
Hi Melissa! I would say you can make the berry filling ahead of time and the crisp topping ahead of time but leave separate until you are ready to bake it. If you put it all together in advance, the crisp topping will get soggy. Or you could make the whole thing, bake it and rewarm it covered in foil in a 350 degree oven for about 15-20 minutes.. take the foil off and let the top crisp a bit.
Can you use fresh berries instead of frozen?
Yes! You can absolutely use fresh berries in this berry crisp.
I made this and it was amazing!! Thanks.
Thanks Stephanie … it is one of my favorites too 🙂
