Ingredients
Scale
Crisp Topping
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour or gluten-free all-purpose flour blend
- 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Blueberry Filling
- 2 (21 ounce) cans Lucky Leaf Blueberry Filling
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat the oven to 375°F and spray an 8×8-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray to ensure the crisp doesn’t stick during baking.
- Make the Crisp Topping: Cut the unsalted butter into 8 pieces and microwave in 20-second bursts until mostly melted, about 40 to 50 seconds. Let it cool slightly. Add the flour, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt to the melted butter and stir to combine.
- Add Oats: Stir the old-fashioned rolled oats into the butter mixture until fully incorporated, forming the crisp topping mixture.
- Chill Topping: Refrigerate the crisp topping for at least 5 minutes to help it firm up slightly and maintain its texture while baking.
- Prepare Filling: In the sprayed baking dish, spread the canned blueberry filling evenly, then sprinkle the fresh blueberries evenly on top.
- Assemble the Crisp: Evenly sprinkle the chilled crisp topping over the blueberry filling layer, covering it completely.
- Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the blueberry filling is bubbling.
- Cool and Serve: Let the crisp cool for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the filling to set. Optionally, serve with vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
Notes
