Blueberry Crunch

Blueberry crunch is the perfect dessert whether you choose to serve it warm with cold ice cream or cooled and cut into bars. It's a basic berry crisp, but a little crunchier with two layers of irresistible crisp topping.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups frozen or fresh blueberries
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon

Crust and Topping Ingredients

  • 1 cup old-fashioned oats
  • cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup light brown sugar
  • ½ cup butter melted

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. Grease an 8" square pan with butter. Rinse the berries and place them in a medium size bowl. Sprinkle with sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon. Toss to coat and set aside.
  • Stir together the oats, flour, brown sugar, and butter until crumbles form. Press half of the oat mixture into the bottom of the pan. Pour the berries over the crust layer and sprinkle the remaining oat mixture on top of the berries.
  • Bake for 30 minutes, until the crust has browned and the fruit mixture is bubbling. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or let cool completely and slice into bars.

Notes

If you don't have fresh berries or frozen berries on hand, swap in 2 1/2 cups of Homemade Blueberry Pie Filling or a 21-ounce can of store-bought pie filling. Both of these variations are great options.
