Summer Berry Cast Iron Crisp Crumble

This jammy, crumbly dessert couldn't be easier to make. Here's how to whip one together with any fruit you find at the market.

One of my favorite desserts is the simplest one: a fruit crisp. Since I’m not the best baker #goals, this type of dessert that I can simply “build” is an easy, foolproof, AND delicious dessert! A layer of jammy, sweet-tart fruit topped with crunchy, chewy streusel topping-it’s addictive.

I often slide it into the oven right before we sit down for dinner for a warm dessert after a dinner party on the patio and a final glass of wine, but one of my favorite ways to eat crisps is right out of the fridge for breakfast, maybe with a dollop of yogurt on the side.

I also love this because I can make them in cute little individual ramekins (who doesn’t love their own dessert) or a big rustic cast iron skillet. Both look and taste fabulous.

The best part might be that you can use any fruit to make a crisp. Grabbed fresh peaches at the farmers market? Perfect! Mixed berries? Delicious! Have a bag of blueberries buried in the freezer? They’ll work, too! You can also mix fruits (like apples with pears or strawberries with rhubarb).

Ingredients

• 8-9 cups or 4-5 pints fresh fruit (blueberries, raspberries, sliced strawberries, and blackberries)
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
• Grated zest of 1 lemon
• Optional add-ins:
• 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon or 1/8 tsp. ground nutmeg.
• Ice Cream for serving if desired.

Crisp Topping

• 1 cup packed light brown sugar
• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 3/4 cup old-fashioned oats
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• Pinch of salt
• 1 stick cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes

Instructions

1. Wash and dry the berries:
2. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
3. Grease a 12-inch cast-iron skillet with butter and set aside.
4. In a mixing bowl, combine the berries, granulated sugar, flour, and lemon zest- and cinnamon or nutmeg if using.
5. Pour into the pan and smooth into an even layer.
6. In another bowl, combine the sugar, flour, oats, cinnamon, and salt.
7. Cut in the butter until you have a coarse crumb.
8. Sprinkle this mixture evenly and loosely over the top of the berries. Bake, uncovered, until golden brown, crisp and bubbling, 35 to 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and let sit at least 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

• Use any combination of berries you'd like.
• If you don't have a 12" skillet, you can still make it in an 8x8 or 9x9 baking dish.
• Double the recipe in a 9x13 baking dish.
• Use more or less sugar based on your taste.
