I scaled this to 6 servings and made a mini version of this recipe. I only had blackberries so I used those. I cut the butter in half (1/4 cup for mine) and melted it. I opted to omit the nutmeg, as I’m not a fan. This smelled heavenly while baking, but I was disappointed with the end result. This had way too much crumb mixture and not enough berries. The excessive amount of crumbs, bottom and top, make this taste really dry. Sorry, but I think I’ll keep looking.

Make this your family's favorite dessert instantly by making it once. I was suspicious about having a bottom layer of crisp when my daughter-in-law made this for me last fall, but I wont do it any other way now. My mother and mother-in-law were over for dinner when I first served this at home. They both wondered why we haven't been making crisp this way forever. This is a fantastic recipe.

Yum! Halved it and made it in 8x8 with frozen berries. Put all topping on top next time.

I made mine with strawberries and blackberries - delicious! I also didn't have brown sugar, so I subbed in honey and white sugar

really good- i modified mine a lot to suit my needs/tastes. I used a 7x11 pan and used about 3 cups fruit, 1 1/4 c oats, 1 c flour, 6 tbsp. butter, 2 tbsp. coconut oil, spices and 1/2 cup chopped walnuts. I coated fruit in about a tsp. of corn starch so it wouldn't be runny.

I prepared this exactly as the recipe said. It was very good. I love the top and bottom Crisp. My guests enjoyed it as well. However, the crisp was a bit rich, I would reduce the butter as others suggested when I make it next time. I will make it again.

This was very good. I used blueberries and strawberries (halved, which were wonderful). I initially thought there was a lot of topping/crust, but I made a thicker crust bottom and covered the top well using all (and it was quite a bit) of mixture. It came out beautiful and delicious! Unlike some, who melted the butter, I cut in my butter. It took some time but the flavor was really nice.
