Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and generously butter a 9-inch Pyrex pie plate.
2
In a large mixing bowl, gently toss together the blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, sugar, flour, and cinnamon until the berries are evenly coated. Transfer this mixture to the prepared pie plate.
3
Next, prepare the crisp topping by combining the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt in a separate bowl. Use a pastry blender or two forks to cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4
Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the berry mixture in the pie plate.
5
Place the pie plate on a baking sheet to catch any drips. Bake in the center of the preheated oven for about 1 hour, or until the berries are bubbling and the topping is beautifully golden brown.
6
After baking, remove the crisp from the oven and let it cool slightly on a wire rack. Serve warm in dessert bowls with luxurious whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
