Blackberry Grape Crisp

A delicious fruit crisp made with juicy seedless black grapes and blackberries with a crunchy oat crumb topping.

Recipe Ingredients:

Crumb Topping:
1/2 cup rolled oats
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Fruit Filling:
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
3 cups California seedless black grapes, separated and rinsed
3 cups blackberries, fresh or frozen

Sweetened whipped cream or ice cream for accompaniment, if desired

Cooking Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°F).
2. In electric mixer combine crumb topping ingredients and mix until crumbly about 3 to 5 minutes. You should see pea-sized pieces. Do not over-mix or mixture will become a solid mass. Set aside.
3. In small bowl combine sugar and cornstarch until well mixed.
4. In separate mixing bowl, combine grapes and blackberries. Sprinkle sugar and cornstarch over fruit and toss to coat. Place into 8-inch square baking dish. Sprinkle crumb topping over fruit, coating evenly.
5. Place pan in oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes until top is golden brown and fruit is bubbling around edges.

Makes 4 to 6 servings.

Tip: This can also be baked in individual ramekins for a more elegant presentation. Bake time will be shortened to 25 to 30 minutes.
