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....

I was disappointed with this crisp. The topping was too dry and the fruit was too tart.

I found this crisp to be a bit bland. I think it needed more spices or something to give it more flavor.

This crisp is a bit too sweet for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.
