Blueberry Crisp

.Easy Blueberry Crisp made with fresh, juicy blueberries covered with a sweet crumbled topping and baked to bubbly perfection. 

Make this Blueberry Crisp in individual ramekins, a deep dish pie plate or even in a casserole dish.

Or, feel free to make your blueberry crisp in a combination of baking pans and ramekins like I do. One little crisp to eat now, and a big one for later when company arrives I’m telling on myself now Honestly, this is such an easy and delicious dessert it doesn’t matter one bit what you bake it in. Deep or shallow, square or round, that’s no way to mess this up! Place the baking dish on a rimmed cookie sheet lined with foil and you won’t have to worry about it bubbling over either.

Ingredients

the topping:

• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons light brown sugar, lightly packed
• 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into chunks
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar

For the blueberries:

• 6 cups fresh blueberries, rinsed and dried, stems removed
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
• zest of 1 lemon
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375F.

To prepare the topping:

1. In the bowl of a food processor combine the flour, sugars and butter. Pulse until combined and starting to form a dough. Remove the mixture to a small mixing bowl and using the back of a large spoon, press some of the topping together to form large chunks. Refrigerate until needed.

To prepare the blueberries:

1. Lightly grease an 8 or 9-inch baking pan, casserole dish or deep dish pie plate. If preferred use a combination of smaller pans.
2. Pour the blueberries into the prepared pan(s).
3. In a small bowl whisk together 1/2 cup granulated sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon and lemon zest until combined. Pour the mixture over the blueberries and toss to combine. Drizzle the lemon juice over the blueberry mixture and stir gently to coat.
4. Crumble the topping over the blueberries leaving some large clumps. Sprinkle the topping with the remaining 1 tablespoon granulated sugar. Bake until the berries are bubbling and the topping is golden brown, about 45-50 minutes. Tent with foil while baking if browning too quickly. Allow the crisp to cool for 15 minutes. Serve warm topped with ice cream or whipped cream spooned on individual servings enjoy .
