Blueberry Crisp

Last update: July 14, 2016 By Alice Currah 18 Comments

Last week the kids and I went blueberry picking along with their cousins. After spending forty-five minutes picking berries as if it were an Olympic sport, we left the farm with honey sticks and large bags of blueberries.

With visiting family staying with us this week, Abigail wanted to surprise them with a homemade blueberry pie. Selfishly though, I convinced her into making a blueberry crisp instead. I don’t know why but I’ve always preferred berry crisps over pie. Perhaps it’s the top layer of crunchy oat topping which complements the sweetened cooked fruit underneath. Truthfully though, at the time we were discussing which one to make, my strong preference for crisp and my lack of enthusiasm for pie, was the only justification I needed to sway Abbi.

The end result was AMAZING. Please make this crisp. Soon. With a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

For anyone who has been following my health saga, I’ll talk about it more later this week. Things are improving, thank goodness. But for right now, I will leave you with this recipe for homemade blueberry crisp. Enjoy!


PS: The recipe for homemade vanilla ice cream is coming tomorrow.  No eggs needed and only a few ingredients required!

    there’s a mistake in the recipe. if you are mixing the sugar and flour in a bowl but then just tossing the blueberries with the sugar how is that possible if you have already mixed the flour and sugar?

    Hello I made this Crisp last weekend with my granddaughter and my family loved it! Can I use the same base recipe with peaches? If so How many pounds and do I need to peel peaches? Please let me know of any adjustments. Thanks for a wonderful recipe!

    Oh my god that looks amazing. That looks like the kind of pudding I’d make, then tell everyone it burnt in the oven so I got to eat it all to myself.

    Just gorgeous! I think blueberry crisp is by far the most beautiful of the “crisps”!

    I have a huge package of blueberries from Costco that need to find their home in a cobbler just like this one! And then the whole thing can find its home in my belly. I think that would be sweet. Literally and figuratively. 🙂
