Peach Melba Almond Crisp image

Came up with this recipe by combining all of my favorite flavors: peach, raspberry and almond. I love a good apple crisp so I took my mom's apple crisp recipe and changed things up a bit. This combination is perfect because it's a tiny bit tart and the almond crumbles sweeten it up just enough.
