This Browned Butter Triple Berry Crisp combines fresh blueberries, blackberries, and strawberries with an irresistible browned butter streusel topping for the perfect simple dessert.
So, help me out here. I can't decide what kind of food September allows. Am I supposed to still be trying to squeeze out recipes with the last trickles of summer produce? Am I expected to break out the pumpkin spice already? Living in Texas doesn't really help me because it's still full-on summer weather over here! Today, I decided to bend the rules and share this Browned Butter Triple Berry Crisp. It has the fresh berries of course, but it also has toasty browned butter, oats, walnuts, and warm cinnamon to help bridge the gap. This is delicious and so easy to make!
For those {few} of you who are interested, PA school has been keeping me super busy! It was expected, and when you have 3 exams in one week, food blogging is not even a spare thought in your head. On top of that, we had our first round of interviews this weekend {SO FUN} which kept me out of the house all day. So no cooking there either. 😉 This triple berry crisp recipe is perfect because it's honestly stupid-easy to make. I decided to be fancy with my browned butter, but normal melted butter works just as well if you're in a hurry. Mix - dump - bake - eat. Preferably with a big fat scoop of vanilla ice cream on top!
Of corse, you can use whatever you'd like in here. I decided on a combination of strawberries, blueberries, and blackberries to keep it classic. I actually had some pie filling left over from these blackberry hand pies in the freezer so I used that in lieu of fresh blackberries! Don't worry, though. I did adjust the actual recipe for y'all to account for the extra sugar and spices you would add with fresh berries! This triple berry crisp recipe is so yummy and it'll become one of those simple staple recipes in your household! Happy baking! 🙂
browned butter triple berry crisp
Ingredients
- *for the streusel topping*
- ¼ cup {½ stick} unsalted butter
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats
- ⅓ cup pecans
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- *for the filling*
- 1 pint blueberries
- 1 pint blackberries
- 1 lb strawberries diced
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup flour
- juice of ½ lemon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375F; spray an 9 inch pie dish or 9x9 baking dish with nonstick spray, and set aside.
- In a large bowl, mix together the berries, sugar, flour, and lemon juice. Pour into the pie dish and set aside for now.
- In a small nonstick pot, heat the butter over medium-high heat until completely melted. Turn the heat down to medium-low and start whisking as the butter bubbles and fizzes. As soon as it turns medium to dark golden and starts to smell nutty, take it off the heat! You don’t want it to burn!
- Whisk in the brown sugar and cinnamon, then add in the flour, pecans, and oats. Mixture should be clumpy!
- Sprinkle the streusel atop the berry mixture, and set in the oven. Bake for 45-50 minutes, until golden brown and bubbly. Serve warm with ice cream.
