Ingredients

8-10 cups blackberries
2/3 cup brown sugar
¼ cup flour
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 1/2 cup old fashioned oats
2/3 cup brown sugar
⅔ cup all purpose flour
¼ teaspoon salt
10 tablespoons cold unsalted butter

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a large bowl, gently mix blackberries, 2/3 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup flour, and cinnamon. Spoon into an 8 or 9-inch square baking dish sprayed with nonstick baking spray.
In a large bowl, combine rolled oats, 2/3 cup brown sugar and 2/3 cup flour, and salt. Using a pastry blender, cut in the butter until the mixture is crumbly. Sprinkle topping over berries.
Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the topping is light golden brown and the fruit mixture bubbles on the edges.

Notes

If wild blackberries are available to you, by all means, use them. They are extraordinarily flavor-packed.
Take this recipe to the next level with vanilla ice cream or fresh whipped cream.
For an added treat, add 2/3 cup chopped pecans to the topping.
Bake until the crust is light golden brown and the filling bubbles on the edges. This takes about 40-45 minutes.
Use a pastry knife to cut in the butter. Make it easier, and cut the chilled butter into tablespoons or small cubes first.
Let the crisp fully cool before covering it with plastic wrap.
Store on the counter covered for 2 days or cover and refrigerate for up to five days.
To freeze, cover with 2 layers of plastic wrap and then aluminum foil. Freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight. Remove from the fridge about 40 minutes prior to baking to bring the casserole to room temperature and prevent the casserole dish from cracking.
