If you are not using Instant Clear Jel in your filling, then the fruit mixture may need to be baked for longer than 30 minutes before putting the topping on. Try baking for 45 minutes before sprinkling the topping on and then baking for an additional 30 minutes, which should help the fruit set up more and keep the topping afloat. If you are using an oat/flour/sugar topping, you can also try baking the topping on a cookie sheet and then sprinkling it on the crisp right at the very end of baking--just for the last 5 minutes. This will ensure a nice crunch to your topping and will prevent it from sinking to the bottom. Good luck and happy baking! Kye@KAF
