In a separate mixing bowl, combine grapes and blackberries. Sprinkle sugar and cornstarch over fruit and toss to coat. Place into an 8-inch square baking dish. Sprinkle crumb topping over the fruit, coating evenly.

Place pan in the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes until top is golden brown and fruit is bubbling around edges. Serve warm with whipped cream or ice cream.
