Gluten-Free Berry Crisp

Test Kitchen Tip: This recipe can be made with frozen berries instead of fresh ones. There’s no need to defrost them before baking, but you’ll want to add an additional 2 to 3 tbsp of cornstarch to the fruit mixture to thicken the excess liquid. When using frozen fruit, extend the cooking time by 10 minutes (covering dish with foil near the end of baking if mixture is browning too quickly).
