A touch of honey heightens the sweet juiciness of blackberries in this simple crisp. Like all crisps, this one is delicious with a scoop of ice cream.

Note: The tapioca thickens the blackberry mixture a bit, feel free to omit it if you like.

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 1 hour

Total Time: 1 hour, 15 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 6 cups blackberries
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 Tbsp. lemon juice
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp quick-cooking or instant tapioca (optional)
  • 1 cup oats
  • 3/4 cup flour
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 cup butter, cut into pieces

Preparation:

  1. Preheat over to 350. In a 2-quart baking dish combine blackberries, honey, lemon juice, and tapicoa. Toss to thoroughly combine.
  2. Put oats, flour, sugar, and salt in a food processor. Pulse several times to combine. Add butter and pulse until well combined.

    Note: You can also work the ingredients together by hand in a large bowl.

  3. Spread topping over berries - it doesn't need to be terribly even and leaving space here and there gives the filling something to bubble up through.
  4. Bake until berries are bubbling and topping is browned, about 1 hour. Let cool at least slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Makes 6 to 8 serving Blackberry Honey Crisp.
