Hi michelle...
What about trying a granola-type recipe for the topping? Baking is not my field, but granola usually uses honey and a fat of some sort and it certainly is crispy. I found these two recipes in my MasterCook program that might be helpful.
I hope all is well with you.
It's nice to see you here.

my granola is the same, with a mix of honey & canola oil; i'm thinking
i'd like to bake it (the granola topping) on top of the fruit (mainly b/c the class isn't long enough to do the granola 1st & then the crisp), adding some butter, as well, for flavour.
i'll give it a whirl at home today before the class (always a good idea, but not something i always do smileys/wink.gif
thanks smileys/smile.gif
