Recipe of the Month: Berry Crisp

Our Berry Crisp is a classic dessert, served at the Ghost Town Grill during Knott's Boysenberry Festival. It is an easy, mixed-berry dessert with sweet, tart berries layered under a buttery, crunch topping. Served warm with a scoop of ice cream, it's perfection. Yet this Berry Crisp is still delicious all on its own.
