Recipe overview

Recipe tips

Using fresh berries, instead of frozen, produces a much better result. Frozen berries lose their texture and get quite mushy while baking.

Adjust the maple syrup in the filling based on the sweetness of your berries. If your berries are really sweet you might even be able to eliminate the maple syrup completely. Note: You still need the syrup in the topping.

Feel free to swap the sliced almonds for another nut. Don’t skip the nuts, they add crunch to the topping.

Serving and storage

Serve warm topped with yogurt, ice cream, or frozen yogurt.

Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Note: the topping will soften over time. The topping is the most crunchy the day it is made.
