Really enjoyed this crisp! I've been meaning to make it for a long time and finally took the time to do it. I am so glad I did. I made the topping ahead, so when I put it all together it went really quickly. I doubled the recipe and will keep the berries in the freezer to make it for a quick treat sometime soon. Thanks for sharing!!
