If you want to keep it longer, you can freeze it for up to two months. Just make sure to reheat it in the oven or microwave before enjoying again!

tips to make Berry Crisp

• Check for doneness after 30 minutes to avoid over-baking.
• Try adding chopped nuts to the topping for extra crunch.

FAQs

Can I use frozen berries instead of fresh ones?
Yes, frozen berries work just as well. Just make sure to thaw them before using and drain excess liquid.

Can I make Berry Crisp ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can assemble it in advance and bake it just before serving. Alternatively, you can bake it ahead and reheat it.

What if I don’t have brown sugar?
If you don’t have brown sugar, you can substitute it with white sugar. For a little extra flavor, mix in a tiny bit of molasses if you have it.
