As the temperatures slowly go down and we transition from summer to fall, I love squeezing in the very last of berry season to make mixed berry crisps! Crisps are one of the easiest desserts you can make–especially compared to pies–and provide such wonderful texture. This one is the perfect balance of sweet and tart, the best way to savor one last bit of summer before we fully transition into fall! Use fresh or frozen berries, and substitute with other fruit likes apples and pears in colder seasons.
