Mixed fruit crisp is one of the best desserts ever. The crunchy outside with a warm and oozing inside. We tend to make crisps out of any fruit that is in the fridge or freezer; for this reason our crisps are never exactly the same.

I’m always looking for a way to make the crisps a bit different. Last weekend, Renee and Kevin came over after dinner and we decided to make fruit crisp with snicker-doodle cookies as the topping.  This time we found rainier cherries, blackberries and pears in the freezer so that was our fruit base. It turned out delicious; the cookies melted into the fruit but retained their crunchy top.
