Notes
Feel free to swap out fruits based on what's in season or what you have on hand! You can even add nuts for a crunchier texture. If you want to decrease the sugar, consider using ripe fruits, which will naturally sweeten the dish. This fruit crisp is best enjoyed warm, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for a few minutes before serving to retain its delightful texture. Enjoy your baking!
