Description

This classic Blueberry Crisp recipe features a juicy, sweet blueberry filling topped with a buttery, crunchy oat mixture. Baked to perfection until golden and bubbling, it makes a perfect dessert for any occasion, easy to prepare and sure to satisfy your sweet tooth.

Ingredients

Filling

  • 6 cups fresh blueberries (about 3 pints)
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch

Topping

  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 stick (½ cup) unsalted butter, cold and cut into pieces

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking the crisp evenly.
  2. Prepare Filling: In your chosen baking dish (8×8 inch, 8-inch round, 9×9 inch, 9-inch round, 7×11 inch, or any 2-2.5 quart size), combine the fresh blueberries, granulated sugar, and cornstarch. Toss gently with a spoon or spatula to coat the berries evenly and help thicken the filling as it bakes.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate mixing bowl, mix together the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. This mixture will form the crisp topping.
  4. Add Butter: Add the cold, cubed butter pieces to the dry topping ingredients. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to cut the butter into the mixture until it looks sandy with some pea-sized clumps, which helps create a crumbly texture after baking.
  5. Form Topping: Use your hands to gently squeeze the butter and dry ingredients together to further incorporate the butter, then break the topping into clumps evenly over the blueberry filling in the baking dish.
  6. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes. Check if the blueberry mixture is bubbling and the topping has turned a golden brown color. Depending on your pan size, especially if using a 7×11 inch pan, baking may require 60 minutes total.
  7. Adjust Baking Time: If the crisp topping hasn’t browned or the filling isn’t bubbling, bake for an additional 10-20 minutes until done.
  8. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow the blueberry crisp to cool for 10-15 minutes before serving, allowing the filling to set and flavors to meld.

Notes

  • Use fresh and ripe blueberries for the best flavor and texture in the filling.
  • You can substitute brown sugar with coconut sugar or a sugar substitute for a different flavor profile.
  • For a gluten-free version, replace the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend and ensure oats are certified gluten-free.
  • Serving the crisp with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream enhances the dessert experience.
  • Adjust sugar quantities based on the sweetness of your blueberries and personal taste preferences.
