Fresh Blackberry Crisp

It's summertime and fresh berries are everywhere. This recipe is easy and can be whipped up quickly. Enjoy your food!

Ingredients:
3 cups fresh blackberries 
2 tbsp sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp cornstarch
2 tsp water
1/2 tsp lemon juice
1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/4 cup butter

Preheat oven to 375. Pour blackberries into a buttered 
8" x 8" baking pan.

In a small bowl, combine remaining ingredients except the butter. Sprinkle mixture over the berries. Cut and drop small pieces of butter across the top. 

Bake at 375 until filling is bubbly, 20-25 minutes. Let cool for a few minutes. This crunchy, oaty, crisp goes great with vanilla frozen yogurt.
