One of my favorite summer desserts is a fruit crisp.  Today I am sharing my delicious blueberry crisp recipe; however, I love all crisps including plum, peach and apple.

The perfect crisp has a sweet cookie like topping over a bubbly juicy fruit base.  Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream and you will have one of the best summer desserts ever!

Blueberry Crisp Preparation Tips

My two must have ingredients are lemon juice and cinnamon.  The lemon juice adds a little tartness to the sweet blueberries as the topping is sweet.  The cinnamon adds a wonderful aroma and a touch of spice to the streusel topping.

For ease of cleanup, spray your casserole dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.

Instead of using a pastry cutter to mix the topping, I wear my deli gloves and use my hands to work the butter into the oatmeal mixture until it’s crumbly.

You know it’s done when the topping is golden brown and the blueberries are bubbling up on the sides.

I love the crunchy topping combined with the juicy blueberries.  It’s delicious on its own but also fabulous with vanilla ice cream.
