Description

This old-fashioned raspberry crisp recipe is reminiscent of well-loved Dutch apple pies. Full of a fruity filling and topped with a sugar-crumb topping.

Ingredients

4 cups fresh raspberries, divided
1/4 cup water, or as needed
3/4 cup white sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 3/4 cups quick-cooking oats
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup butter, softened

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch baking dish.
2 Crush 1 cup raspberries with a fork in a bowl; transfer to a 1-cup liquid measuring cup. Add enough water to measure 1 cup.
3 Combine white sugar and cornstarch in a saucepan; stir in crushed raspberry mixture and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring occasionally, until thick, about 2 minutes. Reduce heat to a simmer; stir in remaining 3 cups raspberries. Cool.
4 Meanwhile, combine oats, flour, brown sugar, and baking soda in a bowl; cut in butter with 2 knives or a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
5 Press ½ crumb mixture into bottom of the prepared baking dish; spread raspberry mixture on top. Sprinkle with remaining ½ crumb mixture.
6 Bake in the preheated oven until top is golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes.
