Grilled Triple Berry Crisp in a Cast Iron Skillet

Grilled Triple Berry Crisp in a Cast Iron Skillet combines the juiciest, fresh berries of the season with all the added flavor and enjoyment of firing up the barbecue grill. A golden, buttery crumble with a pinch of cinnamon tops these bubbling berries.
