Nectarine and Blueberry Crisp With Amaretti Topping image

A wonderful Giada de Laurentis recipe. The amaretti in the topping can be substituted with biscotti. I personally don't like the marscapone on top and usually substitute vanilla ice cream....

This crisp is a bit too sweet for me, but it's still very good. I'll definitely be making it again.

I've made this crisp several times and it always turns out perfectly. It's a great way to use up fresh fruit.

The crisp was a little bland. I think it could have used more spices.

This crisp is a bit too sweet for my taste. Next time, I'll reduce the amount of sugar in the filling.

I'm not a huge fan of amaretti, so I substituted it with crushed graham crackers. It turned out great!
