Mixed Berry Crisp

It's full on berry season here and we couldn't resist picking up a berry bounty. This recipe calls for a mix of raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, and quartered strawberries (or 3 lbs of peaches!). I ended up using golden berries, strawberries, blackberries, and boysenberries. The combination worked amazingly well with the almond topping. I made a full recipe of the topping and half a recipe of fruit and as suggested am saving topping for another quick and easy dessert in the future.

Mixed Berry Crisp (from Ready for Dessert)

Ingredients
Filling
795g mixed berries
65g sugar
2 tbsp/15g flour
2 tsp lemon juice
Topping
110g flour
50g sugar
120g brown sugar
90g crushed amaretti cookies
1 tsp ground cinnamon
65g almonds, toasted
115g butter, cut into 1/2" pieces

1. Preheat oven to 375F.
2. To make filling, toss ingredients together in shallow, 2 quart baking dish. Set aside.
3. To make topping, pulse together flour, sugar, brown sugar, amaretti, cinnamon, and almonds (almonds can still be a bit chunky).
4. Add chilled butter to topping and pulse until beginning to hold together (or if like me your food processor is too small, you can do this with a pastry blender).
5. Distribute topping over fruit. Bake until bubbling around edges, 40 - 50 minutes.
