fruit crisp

Oat-topped bake

A fruit crisp is a baked dessert of sweetened fruit topped with a crumbly mixture of flour, butter, and sugar, often with oats: apple crisp, peach crisp.

The topping bakes until golden and crunchy—the "crisp" part—while the fruit softens underneath.

Similar to a crumble, though crisps more often include oats in the topping.
