Apple-Berry Crisp

If using cranberries here, add two tablespoons more brown sugar to apple-berry mixture, since cranberries are especially tart.

Ingredients:
5 Golden Delicious or Rome Beauty apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
2 c fresh or frozen blackberries, blueberries, cranberries, or raspberries
3/4 c packed brown sugar
1 1/2 t ground cinnamon
1/3 c unsifted all-purpose flour
1/8 t salt
5 T butter
1/3 c rolled oats

Method:
1) Heat oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly grease a 1 1/2- to 2-quart dish. In a large bowl, combine apples, berries, 1/4 c brown sugar, and 1/2 t cinnamon; toss to blend. Place apple-berry mixture in prepared dish.
2) In medium-sized bowl, combine flour, salt, remaining 1/2 c brown sugar, and 1 t cinnamon. With pastry blender or two knives, cut in butter until mixture is crumbly; stir in oats. Sprinkle mixture over apples and bake 40-45 minutes or until apples are tender and topping is crisp and golden.

This exceeded my (low) expectations, I thought the apples might be weird with the berries, but it worked out. I would prefer an all-berry crisp, but the apples were a good way to bulk it up without breaking the bank. I used four apples--three would have been enough, though. I also 1 and 1/2ed  the topping, and I'm glad I did.
