Simple Blackberry Crisp

I don’t know about where you live, but spring is officially here in North Carolina. In fact, I’d say it’s almost summer weather with our high 80 degree temperatures this weekend. It was the perfect weather for working in the yard, sipping on sweet tea, and blackberry crisp.

I have always loved all berries, but blackberries have never been my top choice. But after this crisp recipe, I’m a blackberry girl for sure. I’m already thinking of all kinds of ways to use them this summer. Starting with this super easy and delicious blackberry crisp. It’s the perfect blend of sweet with natural tartness from the blackberries.

Crisps have become one of my favorite dishes to bake. They’re so versatile and so easy. Another great part is that their size can be customized really easily. Sometimes I just want to make enough for me and sometimes I need an entire pan filled for a group of friends.

This blackberry crisp is the perfect summer dessert because it’s light and fresh. I honestly love it by itself but it would also be perfect with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or some homemade whipped cream. I can’t wait to try customizing this even more but even with these simple ingredients, this crisp truly is perfect for summertime.
