Ina Garten Blueberry Crisp recipe

Blueberry Crisp is a baked dessert featuring fresh blueberries tossed with sugar and lemon juice, topped with a buttery streusel made from oats, flour, and sugar. The crisp is baked until bubbly and golden, creating a perfect balance of textures and flavors.

Ingredients

For the Filling

  • Fresh blueberries – 4 cups
  • Granulated sugar – ⅓ cup
  • All-purpose flour – 2 tablespoons
  • Lemon juice – 1 tablespoon
  • Lemon zest – 1 teaspoon

For the Topping

  • All-purpose flour – 1 cup
  • Old-fashioned rolled oats – ½ cup
  • Brown sugar – ½ cup, packed
  • Granulated sugar – ¼ cup
  • Ground cinnamon – ½ teaspoon
  • Kosher salt – ¼ teaspoon
  • Unsalted butter – ½ cup (1 stick), cold and diced

Instructions

Preheat the Oven

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or similar-sized dish with butter or nonstick spray.

Prepare the Blueberry Filling

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the blueberries, sugar, flour, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Toss gently until the blueberries are evenly coated.
  • Pour the blueberry mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.

Make the Topping

  • In a medium bowl, combine the flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Mix well.
  • Add the diced cold butter to the mixture. Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Assemble and Bake

  • Sprinkle the topping evenly over the blueberry filling, ensuring all the blueberries are covered.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the blueberries are bubbling.

Cool and Serve

  • Allow the crisp to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm, topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream if desired.
