Variations

* Feel free to add nuts to this crisp before baking. The only reason why I kept them out was for school allergy reasons. We are NUTS for nuts over hear. Chopped pecans, walnuts, peanuts, pistachios, they would all be great in this recipe.
* Any dried fruit can be used instead of and with the raisins. Try dried apricots, blueberries, apples, cranberries, dates etc.
* Instead of sweet potato you can use pumpkin or even butternut squash. Perhaps even a combo of any of those.
