Ingredients
Scale
Blueberry Filling
- 5 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
Crisp Topping
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it is adequately heated for baking the crisp.
- Prepare the Blueberry Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the blueberries with granulated sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Toss everything gently until the berries are well coated, which will help thicken the filling during baking.
- Assemble the Filling: Pour the blueberry mixture into a greased 8×8-inch baking dish, spreading it evenly to create the base layer of the crisp.
- Make the Topping: In a separate bowl, mix the oats, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Pour in the melted butter and stir until the mixture forms a crumbly and evenly moistened topping.
- Top the Blueberries: Evenly sprinkle the oat mixture over the blueberry layer, ensuring complete coverage for a crunchy crust after baking.
- Bake the Crisp: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 35–40 minutes. The topping should turn golden brown, and the blueberry filling should be bubbling at the edges, indicating it is cooked through.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the crisp from the oven and allow it to cool for about 10 minutes. Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream to enhance the flavor and texture.
Notes
- You can substitute frozen blueberries for fresh ones—no need to thaw before using.
