Nectarine & Blackberry Crisp

1 – Prepare topping: Combine flour, brown sugar, sugar and cinnamon in a mixing bowl. Cut the butter into 1/2” squares and add to the flour mixture. Work with hands until the butter breaks into pea-size pieces. If you are using walnuts, they should be incorporated after the butter has been worked into the mixture. The topping can be held for a week, covered well in the refridgerator.
