Notes

Pro tip: Let the crisp rest 5 minutes so the bubbly filling thickens and the crumble stays crisp. Store leftovers covered in the fridge for 3-4 days; reheat in a 350F oven until warmed through. Freezing is yes—freeze portions up to 2 months and reheat from thawed or bake a little longer. For a less-sweet option, reduce brown sugar in the topping by 2 tbsp.
