I loved the flavor of this crisp, but it was a bit too runny for my liking. I would recommend cooking it for a few minutes longer.

The crisp was good, but the streusel topping was a bit dry. I would recommend adding a little more butter or oil to the topping.

This crisp was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar in the filling.
