Equipment

Ovenproof dish

Ingredients

For the fruit layer

2 cups cherries fresh or frozen
½ cup blueberries fresh or frozen
¼ cup maple syrup more to taste

For the crisp topping

1.5 cups oats gf if required
3 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoon pumpkin seeds
¼ cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon optional

Instructions

Pre-heat the oven to 180C / 360F.
In a large oven-proof dish scatter your fruit so that it is an even layer, and then drizzle over the maple syrup.
Pour the oats, sugar, pumpkin seeds and cinnamon, if using, into a bowl and then 'rub' the butter between your fingers and the oat mixture so that it is all combined.
Top your fruit with the oat mixture in an even layer, and place in the oven. Bake for 40-45 minutes, checking after about 30 minutes and every 5 minutes thereafter for any signs of burning. It can turn quickly, so keep an eye on it!
Allow to cool for 5-10 minutes and then serve and enjoy!

Notes

Scatter the fruit in an even layer in your dish.
Fresh or frozen fruit can be used. Using frozen will give slightly more juice in the base of the dish.
Rub the butter well through the oats so they are evenly coated and slightly sticky.
The crisp will have more fruity liquid at the bottom if you use frozen fruit.
Adjust the amount of maple syrup to taste - if you have a sweet tooth you may like a little more.
