Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Place raspberries in the bottom of a 9-inch square baking pan and sprinkle sugar over the fruit.
- In a medium bowl, blend together margarine, flour, brown sugar, and oats until it resembles a coarse meal.
- Sprinkle the oat mixture evenly over the fruit.
- Bake for 30 minutes or until lightly browned.
- Serve hot.
Tips & Substitutions
For a delightful twist, consider substituting blueberries or chopped apples for the raspberries. If you prefer a vegan version, use coconut oil instead of margarine. To enhance flavor, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon to the oat mixture. Ensure the fruit is evenly coated with sugar to balance the tartness.
Serving Suggestions
Fresh Raspberry Crisp is delicious on its own, but for an extra treat, serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. It pairs beautifully with Peachy Lemonade Punch for a refreshing summer dessert. Consider adding a sprinkle of nuts for added crunch or serve alongside a light salad for contrast.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place in a 350°F oven for about 10-15 minutes, or until warmed through. This will help retain the crisp texture of the topping while warming the fruit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen raspberries for this recipe?
Yes, you can use frozen raspberries, but be aware that they may release more liquid during baking. To compensate, you might want to increase the baking time slightly or add an extra tablespoon of flour to the oat mixture to absorb the moisture.
How can I make this dessert gluten-free?
To make a gluten-free version, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend and ensure your oats are certified gluten-free. This will maintain the crisp's texture while accommodating gluten sensitivities.
What other fruits work well in this crisp?
Besides raspberries, you can experiment with other berries like strawberries or blackberries, or even stone fruits like peaches or plums. Mixing different fruits can create a more complex flavor profile and add variety to your dessert.
