Mixed Berry Oatmeal Crisp

This is the kind of recipe I love to have up my sleeve! No special ingredients to run out and buy. Stock your freezer with a bag of frozen mixed berries and you'll always have a wonderful dessert to prepare for unexpected guests or if your cake falls on the floor (yes, I've had that happen).  You can adapt the topping to whatever nuts you have on hand.
Mixed Berry Oatmeal Crisp was printed in the March issue of Bon Appetite.

Here the frozen berries are mixed with cornstarch and the crisp topping is thrown together.

Put the frozen fruit in the individual dishes and pile up the topping. They bake for about 40 minutes.
I'm just happy to have another use for these cute creme brulee dishes.

Excellent served hot with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.
 Now that's showing some love.
