Blueberry Crisp
Description
This Blueberry Crisp uses fresh or frozen blueberries tossed with sugar, lemon juice and zest, vanilla extract, flour, and cornstarch to thicken the filling during baking. The filling releases juices that mingle with citrus notes and vanilla for brightness and depth.
The topping blends softened butter with sugars, oats, flour, optional chopped almonds, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. It bakes to a golden, crumbly crust that contrasts the soft berry filling. Baking at 375°F for 35-40 minutes allows the topping to crisp and filling to bubble.
Serve the crisp slightly cooled, ideally accompanied by a scoop of ice cream to balance warm and cold textures and mild sweetness. This dessert fits well as a comforting treat on cooler days or a seasonal display of summer or fall berries.
