This is the perfect blackberry crisp recipe that I have been baking since my early childhood, exactly how my Granny Janny made it. For 40+ years, this berry crisp has been a summer tradition for my family and I just love sharing the dish with you. The buttery oatmeal topping combines with the tangy but sweet blackberries for a quintessential summer dessert.
