Blackberry Crisp

SERVES 4 – 6

Make this crisp all year long, using frozen berries in the winter.

6 cups blackberries, stemmed
and rinsed
4 tbsp. granulated sugar
½ cup plus 2 tbsp. flour
1/3 cup light brown sugar
1 cup rolled oats
8 tbsp. cold butter, cut into
small pieces
Pinch salt

1. Preheat oven to 350°. Put berries, granulated sugar, and 2 tbsp. of the flour into a large bowl and toss gently to combine. Transfer berry mixture to a 9" glass pie dish and set aside.

2. Put remaining flour, brown sugar, oats, butter, and salt into a medium mixing bowl. Using 2 table knives, work butter into flour mixture until it resembles coarse meal. Sprinkle topping evenly over berries in dish.

3. Put pie dish on a baking sheet, transfer to oven, and bake crisp until berries are bubbling and topping is golden brown, about 1 hour. Transfer dish to a rack to let crisp cool a bit. Serve crisp slightly warm, with vanilla ice cream, if you like.
