Enjoy the flavors of fresh blueberry pie without the fuss of a crust ... make easy-as-can-be Blueberry Crisp instead!
I may just have a new favorite fruit dessert.
I don't know why I didn't think of this before. Apple crisp? ... Make it all the time. Pear crisp? ... Yes, with walnuts. It's divine! But blueberry crisp? Took me forever to think of it.
And now that I've tried it, I'm hooked.
No pie crust to roll out and crimp just perfectly. Nope. Simply sprinkle a little brown-sugar-and-oats topping on the blueberry filling instead. Easy as can be.
I think I even like blueberry crisp better than blueberry pie. Which is saying a lot. Because blueberry pie is one of my all-time favorite desserts!
And another plus for this recipe? - it's so quick and easy.

I was so sure the blueberry crisp with wine would be better, but this was one time that adding wine was not a plus. In my side-by-side taste comparison, the without-wine version won hands-down. Not even a contest.
I then had my husband Mark do a blind testing ... same result - the "not wine" blueberry crisp won. No question.
I was so sure the blueberry crisp with wine would be better, but this was one time that adding wine was not a plus.
And I thought wine with the blueberries would be so good. Perhaps a different kind of wine ... or perhaps red wine and blueberries in a different type of blueberry dessert would be good. I may have to keep tinkering.
Until I tinker my way to a new blueberry-wine creation, I'll enjoy this non-wine blueberry crisp!
I love that this tasty crisp is super easy to make. First just mix up a simple blueberry filling ~ fresh blueberries combined with a little sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and spices.
Then toss together a simple oats and brown sugar topping and sprinkle it evenly over the blueberry mixture.
Enjoy a big scoop with a dollop of whipped cream ... or not. Believe me, this easy as can be crisp is dee-lish either way!

ReplyDeleteTracey, I LOVE crisps and this one sounds soooo good! I made a mixed berry crisp the other day and we gobbled it down.
ReplyDeleteOh gosh Tracey, another wonderful recipe. Thanks for being a very very faithful OTMM participant!!!
ReplyDeleteLovely berry dish. Berries and currants are this week's subject for Food on Friday. Would you be happy to link this in? We are looking to create a fantastic collection of berry dishes. This is the link . I found you in the On the Menu Monday party.
ReplyDeleteLooks delicious! And I had never even thought to try the wine but based on what you said I won't be trying it.
ReplyDeleteI might make this tonight for my dinner guests! I needed a quick and easy berry dessert to make :)
ReplyDeleteI have only tried variations of apple crisp. Good idea to try something new :)
ReplyDeleteBrought this to a dinner party, and topped with vanilla ice cream. Huge hit. My brother went back for a third helping.
ReplyDeleteAwesome crisp! So easy to make, too! I added nuts to the topping and it turned out delicious. Thank you.
ReplyDeletemmmmm so beautiful--pinned and shared!
ReplyDeleteBlueberries are a real favourite of mine, and I love the topping on this crisp. It's got oatmeal so it's good for me, right ;-) Seriously though, I love the flavour and texture of oatmeal in crisp toppings. Pinning and sharing. Thank you so much for being a part of the Hearth and Soul Link Party, Tracey. Hope to 'see' you again this week. Have a wonderful week!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing at Friday Frenzy! Pinned!!
ReplyDeleteAnother great recipe! I wonder what I missed in my life!
ReplyDeleteThis is what I call spoon food, I love eating with a spoon it means I can get the maximum food and sauce in my mouth in one go!

Just tried this recipe last night - SO addictive! I definitely ate way more than I should. Would totally recommend!
ReplyDeleteQuestion: If using frozen blueberries, do you add less water? Do you thaw the blueberries and drain or do you bake with the berries frozen and perhaps more time in the oven?
ReplyDeleteThis would be perfect with so many different fruits! I love a fruit crisp...looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteTammy thank you for your comment. We hope you enjoy and let us know if you try other fruits!
DeleteMy husband asks for blueberry pie for his birthday every year. I now have to be on a gluten free diet, and gf pie crusts are a pain to make. I made this recipe and he loved it! I did a shortcut and used a can of blueberry pie filling and 2.5 cups of fresh blueberries, and gf flour. It was sooo good! This recipe is a keeper!
