Berry
Crisp: Preheat oven to
375 degrees F (190 degrees C) and place rack in the center of the oven. Butter, or spray with a
non stick cooking spray, a 9 inch (23 cm) deep dish pie plate or an
8 x 8 x 3 inch (20 x 20 x 7.5 cm) baking dish.
Topping: Place
the flour, sugars, cinnamon, and
salt in a food processor and process until combined. Add the butter and process
until the mixture is crumbly (looks like
coarse meal) and there are no large pieces of butter visible. (This can also be
done in a large bowl with a pastry blender, two knives or your fingertips.) Stir
in the almonds.
Filling: Place
berries in a large bowl and toss with the sugar, lemon zest, and cornstarch. Transfer the fruit to your
baking dish and sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the fruit. Bake for approximately
30 - 35 minutes or until the topping is crisp, golden brown and
the fruit juices are just beginning to bubble. Remove from oven and place on a wire rack to cool for about 30 minutes before
serving.
Serve with softly whipped
cream, single pouring cream, or vanilla ice cream or yogurt. Cover and refrigerate leftovers.
Reheat before
serving.
Makes 4 -
6 servings.
