1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
2. For the crisp: Mix together the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt in a bowl. Using a pastry blender, 2 knives or a food processor, cut in the butter. Stir in the oats.
3. For the fruit: Toss the fruit with the cornstarch, granulated sugar as needed and the lemon zest if using.
