Not bad, but could use some adjustments. The topping never got crisp, just chewy. Also, this was definitely not sweet enough for me. Not sure I'd make this again. UPDATE: I made this again, but doubled the sugar and only added 2 tablespoons of yogurt into the topping. It made the topping crisp and sweet! So much better!

This was pretty good, even my hubby liked it. I was looking for an apple crisp so I changed it a little bit. Used 16 oz of sliced and cored apples instead of the fruit. Used 2 tsp of pumpkin pie spice instead of cinnamon and nutmeg. And 1/4 cup evaporated skim milk, I agree with another review and will up that to 1/2 cup next time. For the crisp I used 1/4 Splenda brown sugar substitue instead and I didn't have any fat free plain yogurt so I used 6 oz fat free sour cream and it turned out good. Loved how easy this was, will make again!

My only criticism is that the Splenda gives it a slightly artificial taste, but that can't be helped if you want it to be core/diet. It is peach season here, so I substituted fresh sliced peaches for the berries, and it worked great. I didn't measure them, just added enough to fill the baking dish. Since ginger goes well with peaches, I added a small amount of powdered ginger, about 1/4 tsp. I also followed the suggestion of another review to cut down the yogurt to 6 ounces. It resulted in a crispy crust. Everyone in the family loved it, including my husband, who hates anything that he perceives as diet food. We will make this again!

We liked the recipe, but it's definitely not amazing. It's really more of a baked oatmeal than a crisp. The top got a bit crunchy, but was still chewy too. I was fine with the texture but it won't be crisp-like without a fat like butter or oil. I also only used about 1/2 cup of yogurt after reading the reviews, and just a couple tablespoons of the pudding mix. The flavor was good to us.
