Description

This classic Blueberry Crisp recipe combines juicy, sweet blueberries with a buttery, crumbly topping dusted with sugar and baked to golden perfection. Perfect as a comforting dessert, it’s easy to prepare and serves as a delightful way to enjoy fresh blueberries anytime.


Ingredients

Blueberry Filling

  • 4 cups blueberries
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar

Topping

  • 1 cup sifted flour
  • ½ cup butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready for baking the crisp.
  2. Prepare the blueberry filling: In a large mixing bowl, toss together the blueberries with 2 tablespoons of flour and 2 tablespoons of sugar. This helps to thicken the filling as it bakes.
  3. Assemble the filling: Butter an 8×8 inch baking dish and transfer the coated blueberries into this dish, spreading them evenly.
  4. Make the topping: Using a pastry blender or your fingers, combine 1 cup flour, ½ cup butter, 1 cup sugar, ½ teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon baking powder until the mixture becomes crumbly. Stir in ½ teaspoon vanilla extract to add flavor.
  5. Add topping to blueberries: Evenly sprinkle the crumbly topping over the blueberry mixture in the dish, covering it completely.
  6. Bake the crisp: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until the topping turns a beautiful golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
  7. Cool and serve: Remove the crisp from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for about 30 minutes to set before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Use fresh or frozen blueberries—if frozen, do not thaw before mixing.
  • For a gluten-free version, substitute the flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
  • You can add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the topping for extra flavor.
  • Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a perfect dessert.
  • Store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat before serving.
