Summer Blueberry Crisp


Summer Blueberry Crisp
Original recipe by Martha Stewart

This summertime dessert is so wonderful-awesome-deliciously good! Oh my god, serve it with vanilla ice cream and you'll scream!  Enjoy!

Ingredients:

Filling
6 cups (3 pints) fresh blueberries
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon coarse salt

Topping
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats (not instant or quick-cooking)
1/2 cup chopped nuts, such as almonds
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1/3 cup sugar

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. 

Mix blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice and salt in a bowl. 



Transfer to an 8-inch square baking dish.


Step 2

In a medium bowl, stir together flour, oats, nuts, baking powder and salt, set aside.

Cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy with a electric mixer.  Pour flour mixture into butter mixture.  Using your hands, squeeze topping pieces together to form clumps.

Step 3

Sprinkle topping evenly over 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 30 minutes before serving.

Serves 8

  3. This is good! I used the food processor on the nuts and oats, poured it into a bowl. Put the butter and sugar in the processor, then added the nuts and oats mixture. That made this topping even easier! Thanks for the recipe!
