Makes 9 Servings
Fruit filling
13 cups Marionberries
2 cups Sugar
Pinch of salt
½ cup Lemon juice
Zest of 1 lemon
3 Tbsp Flour
In a large bowl, toss all ingredients together until berries are coated evenly. Put berries in desired baking pan (suggested: 9x13) and smooth out until level.
Crisp topping
3 cups Flour
1½ cups Sugar
1 tbsp Baking powder
3 Eggs
1 cup Butter, melted
1½ tsp Salt
Pinch of cinnamon
Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt very well in a medium sized bowl. Crack the three eggs directly into bowl and loosely mix together until dough is crumbly. Do not overmix, it should be lumpy and irregular.
To bake
Add topping directly on top of berries and spread evenly. Melt butter and pour over the topping mixture, moistening as much of your flour as possible. Sprinkle with a little bit of cinnamon.
Bake at 325 for 50 - 60 minutes or until crisp is golden brown and cooked through. Enjoy while hot with vanilla or buttermilk ice cream.
