Use the freshest seasonal fruit in this crispy, crunchy spring classic. With a simple and delicious topping made from flour, brown sugar, oats, butter, cinnamon and ginger, you likely have everything you need in your pantry already (except for the berries, of course; keep those in your fridge!)
It’s that easy: For even more crunch, add 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans to the topping. For extra zippy flavor in the filling, stir 1/4 cup of chopped candied ginger into the fruit.
