I love this recipe because it’s easy to make and it’s naturally sweetened with fresh fruit and maple syrup. This is a healthier berry crisp in comparison to most recipes that call for lots of butter and sugar. Be sure to use berries that are nice and ripe. The more ripe the berry, the sweeter the crisp will be.
