For the Berry Filling:
- 6 cups mixed fresh berries (such as blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries)
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1½ tablespoons fresh lemon juice (from 1 lemon)
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
For the Oat Topping:
- ¼ cup (½ stick) cold unsalted butter, cubed
- ½ cup brown sugar, packed
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup rolled oats
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
For Serving (Optional):

Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F and place a rack in the center position.
- Prepare the Berry Filling: In a large bowl, gently toss the mixed berries with granulated sugar, sea salt, flour, lemon juice, and cinnamon (if using). Ensure the berries are evenly coated. Transfer the berry mixture to a 2-quart baking dish or pie pan, spreading it out evenly.
- Make the Oat Topping: In a medium bowl, combine the cubed butter, brown sugar, flour, oats, and sea salt. Use your hands to mix the ingredients until they form a crumbly dough.
- Assemble the Crisp: Scatter the oat mixture evenly over the berries in the baking dish.
- Bake the Crisp: Bake in the preheated oven for about 35 minutes, or until the berries are bubbling and the topping is golden brown.
- Serve: Serve the mixed berry crisp warm, optionally topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
