This cast iron mixed berry crisp is the perfect quick dessert! You can easily sub out the fruit for whatever you have on hand for a delicious after-dinner treat!

I’m so excited to have my friend Madison from A Joyfully Mad Kitchen share a tasty dessert recipe with us today!
Hello friends! It’s Madison from A Joyfully Mad Kitchen here while Jenna enjoys her sweet baby boy! When she asked if I’d contribute a guest post, I was thrilled to be able to share this recipe with y’all.

I am a HUGE fan of dessert. Occasionally I have to force myself to not default to having dessert every night, but most nights, I have to finish my evening with a little dessert. I love this cast iron mixed berry skillet because it’s just sweet enough to satisfy my dessert craving, but doesn’t weigh me down or fill me with too much sugar!

I love chocolate just as much as the next guy, but I have to really be in the mood for a chocolatey dessert. This crisp though? Anytime. I’m always game for a fruity dessert! The topping for this crisp is on I’ve used for a few different crisp recipes (like this Apple Crisp for fall or my Peach Raspberry Crisp!) and it’s just so easy to make. I love that you can use a food processor for it or even a pastry blender- which I used this time!

We had a ton of berries on hand at the time because of a BOGO sale at Target, so this dessert was the perfect way to use them up before they went bad!
