Ingredients

2 cups Mixed berries (such as blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries)

5 medium fruits Fresh stone fruit (plums, peaches, apricots, or nectarines), sliced

1 cup Brown sugar

1 tablespoon Cornstarch

1 teaspoon Fresh lemon juice

2 cups Old-fashioned rolled oats

½ cup All-purpose flour

1½ teaspoons Ground cinnamon

½ teaspoon Salt

¾ cup Unsalted butter, cubed and slightly softened

Directions

Preheat your oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a 9-inch square baking pan with butter or cooking spray.
In a large bowl, combine the sliced stone fruit and mixed berries. Add 1/2 cup of brown sugar, the cornstarch, and lemon juice. Gently toss the fruit until the cornstarch and sugar are evenly distributed and the fruit is well coated. Pour the fruit mixture into the prepared baking pan and spread in an even layer.
In another bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, remaining 1/2 cup brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir together until well blended.
Add the cubed butter to the oat mixture. Using a pastry blender, two forks, or your fingertips, work the butter into the dry mixture until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs with pea-sized pieces of butter still visible.
Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the fruit layer, distributing it in an even coating without pressing it down.
Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until the topping is golden brown and the fruit filling is bubbling around the edges of the pan.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

This recipe hits the fundamentals well for a Charlotte kitchen: berries and stone fruit are readily available at any major chain year-round (though summer peaks are cheaper), and every topping ingredient—oats, brown sugar, flour, butter, cinnamon—stocks at Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Kroger, ALDI, and Walmart without a second trip. The cost per serving lands around $1.20–$1.50 depending on whether you catch sales on fruit; the butter and oats drive the total modestly upward. The stated 65 minutes is honest for a baked crisp, though actual hands-on time is closer to 15–20 minutes with 45 minutes passive baking. The real limitation is that a 10-serving crisp is awkward for a typical weeknight family—it's better suited to potlucks or batch prep—and crisps go stale by day two unless wrapped tightly, making leftovers a qualified success rather than a genuine advantage.
