Blueberry Crisp

I snagged this recipe out of People magazine a couple weeks ago. It looks simple and fresh – and it’s “berry time” of the year right now!!

Ingredients

This happens to be a Martha Stewart recipe…..she does EVERYTHING so well. And this recipe does not disappoint.

Blueberry base

With topping on

All of the ingredients come together so quickly and effortlessly. I believe it took me about 10 minutes to throw this together.

Mmmmmmmm

Does this look amazing or what? I think my favorite part is the topping.

Big Bite

Be sure to use the NON-INSTANT rolled oats. It makes a huge difference. And I believe if you dont, it will not turn out right.

Dig in!

Blueberry Crisp

Ingredients for the filling:

• 6 cups (3 pints) fresh blueberries
• ½ cup sugar
• 1 tblsp cornstarch
• 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
• 1 tsp coarse salt

Ingredients for the topping:

• ¾ cup all-purpose flour
• ½ cup old-fashioned rolled oats (not instant or quick-cook)
• ½ cup chopped nuts, such as almonds
• ½ tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp coarse salt
• 6 tblsp unsalted butter, softened
• 1/3 cup sugar

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 375°.  Make the filling: Mix blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and salt in a bowl. Transfer to an 8-inch square baking dish.

Make the topping: In a medium bowl, stir together flour, oats, nuts, baking powder, and salt. With an electric mixer on medium speed, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Stir flour mixture into butter mixture. Using your hands, squeeze topping pieces together to form clumps.

Sprinkle evenly over the filling. Bake until filling is bubbling in the center and topping is golden brown, about 1 hour. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool for 30 minutes before serving
