Blueberry Crisp

This Blueberry Crisp is the perfect spring and summer dessert! The blueberries are juicy and sweet, all while topped with the most amazing crumble!

Whenever I make fruit and berry crisps I have to make a little extra crumble. I’ve been doing this for ages now. I love the crumble! The texture of the oats, sweetness of the brown sugar, and the hint of cinnamon is perfection!

You know I made more crumble for this blueberry crisp recipe! In fact, the blueberry filling to crumble ratio is 1:1. Yes! You get the same amount of blueberry filling and crumble in every. Single. Bite. What more could you want in a berry crisp recipe?!

This recipe originates from my dear friend Natalie from Life Made Simple. I made this crisp last year and my family and I loved it! I opted to take out the lemon zest she uses, and added a little more cornstarch to make the filling a tad thicker and less runny. As mentioned above, I increased the amount of crumble used in the recipe too. Minor tweaks resulting in something truly delicious!

This blueberry crisp is so delicious and it’s sooooo easy to make!

If you’re using fresh blueberries rinse them off, place them in a bowl and add the sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice.

Can you use frozen blueberries to make Blueberry Crisp? Yes.

I had a lot of fresh blueberries on hand, so I opted to use those. However, I’ve made this blueberry crisp with frozen blueberries and the results are phenomenal.

Place the sugared blueberries in a baking dish. Now, prepare the crumble.

Once all of the ingredients have been added to the bowl, cut in the cold butter with a pastry blender.

Place the crumble over the blueberries. Now comes the hard part, waiting!

I highly recommend you serve this blueberry crisp warm with a side of cold vanilla ice cream. YUM! I need to make more of this stat.

• 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
