Description

This classic Blueberry Crisp recipe features juicy fresh blueberries topped with a buttery, oat-filled crumble that bakes to golden perfection. It’s a simple, comforting dessert perfect for showcasing seasonal berries. The crisp topping adds a delightful crunchy texture that complements the sweet and slightly tart blueberry filling.

Ingredients

Blueberry Filling

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

Crisp 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 optimal temperature for baking your crisp evenly.
  2. Prepare Filling: In your chosen baking dish (8×8 inch, 8-inch round, 9×9 inch, 9-inch round, or 7×11 inch, roughly 2-2.5 quarts), combine the fresh blueberries with granulated sugar and cornstarch. Toss gently with a spoon or spatula so the sugar and cornstarch coat the berries evenly.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate mixing bowl, mix together the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt until well blended.
  4. Add Butter: Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter to the dry topping mixture.
  5. Cut in Butter: Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to work the butter into the dry ingredients until the texture resembles coarse sand with some pea-sized butter clumps.
  6. Squeeze Together: Use your hands to gently squeeze the mixture together to form a crumbly and clumpy texture, which will create a crisp topping after baking.
  7. Assemble Crisp: Evenly distribute the crumble topping by breaking it into clumps with your fingers over the blueberry mixture in the baking dish.
  8. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes. Check if the crisp is bubbling and the topping is golden brown. If needed, continue baking for an additional 10-20 minutes. Note that baking time can vary depending on pan size; for example, a 7×11 inch pan might require about 60 minutes total.
  9. Cool and Serve: Remove the crisp from the oven and allow it to cool for 10-15 minutes before serving to let the filling thicken up slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature for best flavor.

Notes

  • Using fresh blueberries yields the best flavor and texture for this crisp, but frozen berries can be used if fresh are unavailable. Thaw and drain excess liquid before using.
  • You can customize the topping by adding chopped nuts or substituting butter with coconut oil for a different flavor profile.
  • This dessert can be served on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for extra indulgence.
  • If a deeper filling is preferred, a 9×13 inch baking dish can be used; adjust baking time accordingly.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently before serving.
