Fresh Raspberry Crisp is a classic American dessert that's perfect for any occasion. This recipe will serve 6 people.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 6 cups fresh raspberries
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
2. In a large bowl, combine the flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Mix well with a wooden spoon or pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
3. Add the softened butter to the dry ingredients and mix until the dough forms pea-sized crumbs. Set aside.
4. In another bowl, toss together the fresh raspberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla extract until the fruit is evenly coated.
5. Transfer the raspberry mixture to the prepared baking dish and press it down into an even layer.
6. Sprinkle the oatmeal crumble mixture over the top of the raspberries, pressing it down gently with your hands or a spatula.
7. Bake for 30-35 minutes, until the topping is golden brown and crispy.
8. Let the crisp cool for a few minutes before serving. You can top it with whipped cream and chopped nuts if desired.
