I think we can all agree (or at least my east-coasters) that the weather has been less than awesome recently.
But really, there's almost nothing dessert can't fix. Or if you're like me, this can be breakfast and lunch too. Or linner: the appetizer to the appetizer.
To be honest, the combination of fruit in a crisp is really up to you, do ya thang and make it your own! I went to my local market and chose what I found to be the most ripe at that moment, but you can use strawberries, cherries, raspberries, and so on.
This is the kind of dish that has something for everyone's texture preference. Velvety fruit, crunchy topping, and you can't forget the melty ice cream. Ice cream is crucial here. Personally, I almost like it a little bit more once the ice cream has melted into the fruit a little. Mmmmmm.
