all-purpose flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: gluten-free flour blend

oats

🥗Healthier: quinoa flakes

💰Cheaper: rolled oats

Quinoa flakes offer a gluten-free option.

Preheat oven to 375°F.

Clean the fruit and allow it to drain.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, oats, brown sugar, butter, salt, mace or nutmeg, and vanilla or cinnamon.

Using a pastry knife (or a food processor with the dough blade), cut the topping ingredients together until they form a homogeneous mass.

Line the inside of the casserole dish with butter.

Chop the fruit and place it into the casserole. If using more than one type, make sure it is adequately mixed or evenly distributed in layers.

Scatter the white sugar over the fruit.

Break the topping up into bits and scatter it over the top of the fruit.

Place the casserole into the center of the oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is just starting to color.

If desired, reheat and re-crisp previously baked crisp under the broiler at 500°F for about 5 minutes before serving.
