I had a giant bag of frozen blueberries needing to be used so I decided to make a Blueberry Crisp, but fresh can always be used.
Frozen blueberries were a staple in my Granny's freezer growing up. I remember going to pick berries in the summer to stock the freezer.
She would make Blueberry Pies, Blueberry Syrup for Pancakes, Blueberry Muffins, and of course an occasional Blueberry Crisp throughout the year with her frozen stash.
The blueberries are so naturally sweet, and it's so simple to make. It has a generous amount of crunchy crisp topping to go perfectly with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream.
To me it just wouldn't be summer without Crisp and Cobblers.
Here's how I made this easy Blueberry Crisp:
In a large bowl toss together:
- 8 cups Fresh or Frozen Blueberries
- 1/4 cup Brown Sugar
- 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
- 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla
- 1/3 cup Flour
Mix together:
- 3/4 cup Granulated Sugar
- 3/4 cup Brown Sugar
- 2 teaspoon Grated Lemon Zest
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Stir in:
- 1 1/2 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 1 cup Oatmeal
- 1 cup Sliced Almonds (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
Until well combined.
Beat in 14 tablespoons Butter, 1 tablespoon at a time until mixture is crumbly, and butter is no longer visible.
Blueberry Crisp topping should look like this.
Press crumb topping between fingers and distribute evenly over blueberries.
Bake Blueberry Crisp in 350 degree oven for 1 hour or until lightly brown.
Serve warm with Vanilla Ice Cream.

I would like to serve this as an alternative to pie on Thanksgiving. I was wondering how far in advance do you think I can make this while still tasting fresh? Trying to save as much time on Turkey Day as possible!
Hi Carolyn, The day before is fine. I wouldn't cover it tightly that night if you leave it on the counter top or use something that breaths to cover it to prevent moisture build up after it fully cools. The moisture has a tendency to soften the topping just like pie. It can be covered, and stored in the fridge if there are leftovers and reheats well. Thanks, Serena
