Berry Crisp

I love fruit pie, but I don't like pie dough very much. I wanted to make a pie over the weekend and I remembered seeing this recipe and decided to make it because it was a crisp instead of a pie. I figured by making the crisp I could have my pie, but not eat all of the dough calories. The original recipe called for blackberries, but I decided to use peaches and blueberries. Peach is my favorite pie, but my daughter begged me for blueberry, so I used both. I find it funny that she begged me to put blueberries in it, but refuses to eat the crisp because it has oatmeal in it! Oh well, more for me. This would be really great warmed up and topped with ice cream.
