Recommended Tools - This is the Emile Henry pie dish I used for this recipe.

Reheating Instructions - I suggest reheating it in the oven as the crisp topping will get soggy in the microwave.

If you are freezing the crisp and want to reheat it, allow it to come to room temperature before putting it in the oven. Glassware and ceramic dishes can crack if they go from freezing to a hot oven.
