Love blueberry pie but don't love to fuss with making a crust? Well, we may just have a new blueberry favorite here for you! Because blueberry pie is one of my all-time favorite desserts, and I may just love this fresh Blueberry Crisp even more.

Loaded with fresh blueberries topped with a brown sugar and oats crumble, Blueberry Crisp delivers up fabulous flavor. The topping's brown sugar and little hint of nutmeg and cinnamon beautifully compliment the juicy baked berries below, making this one very tasty blueberry dessert that's sure to please.

And another plus for this Blueberry Crisp recipe? -- It's so super quick and easy to make.  

With blueberry crisp, you pretty much just toss ingredients together, dump them in a pan, and bake. No pie crust to roll out and carefully lay in a pan. No crust edges to crimp just perfectly. Nope. -- Simply sprinkle a little brown-sugar-and-oats topping on the easy blueberry filling, and you're good to go. -- It's as easy as can be.

Loaded with fresh blueberries topped with a brown sugar and oats crumble, Blueberry Crisp delivers up fabulous flavor in every bite.

Now when I was first working on this recipe, I did try two different blueberry filling versions - one with red wine in with the blueberries, and one without.

I was so sure the blueberry crisp with wine would be better, but this was one time adding wine was not a plus. In my side-by-side taste comparison, the without-wine version won hands-down. -- It wasn't even remotely close. I then had my husband do a blind testing as well, to the same result. -- The "not wine" blueberry crisp won, no question.

I had thought wine with the blueberries would be so good, but was certainly wrong. Perhaps blueberries and wine in a different type of blueberry dessert would be good. -- I may have to keep tinkering with the thought.

But rest assured, this non-wine Blueberry Crisp is a delicious keeper for sure!

Blueberry Crisp Ingredients:

Fresh Blueberry Crisp is made up of two components -- 1. The blueberry filling, and 2. the brown sugar and oats-based crisp topping.

For the blueberry filling, you'll need:

• Blueberries - The star of the show! Fresh blueberries are best, however thawed frozen blueberries can be substituted.

• Cornstarch - Thickens the juice released from the blueberries as they bake, creating a nicely-textured filling that's not too thin and runny.

• Granulated sugar - Sweetens the filling.

• Ground cinnamon & ground nutmeg - Just a small touch of each brings nice flavor to the blueberries.

• Lemon juice - Brightens and enhances the flavor of the blueberry filling. Use fresh lemon juice, rather than bottled, for the best flavor result.

For the crisp topping, you'll need:

• Old-fashioned oats - Brings texture to the topping. We do not recommend substituting quick oats, as they won't bring the same "chew" and textural element as old-fashioned oats.

• All-purpose flour - Adds "bulk" to the topping and helps create its characteristic crumb feel. Whole wheat flour can be substituted for all-purpose, if you prefer.

• Brown sugar - Sweetens the crumb topping, and adds a nice richness to the flavor.

• Ground cinnamon - A small touch lends nice flavor to the topping.

• Butter - Brings the topping together and helps create its characteristic lumpy crumbs.

How to Make Blueberry Crisp:

With a simple blueberry filling and crisp topping, this tasty crisp is super easy to make.  

First, mix up the blueberry filling. Place some fresh blueberries in a large bowl, and toss them in a mixture of cornstarch, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Then add a little lemon juice and water, and toss everything together again. Spoon the blueberry mixture into a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Mix up a simple oats and brown sugar topping with old-fashioned oats, flour, brown sugar, a bit of cinnamon, and melted butter. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the blueberry mixture.

Pop the pan in the oven and bake the blueberry crisp until the blueberries are bubbling pretty vigorously around the edges and the topping is golden brown, which will take about 45 minutes or so.

And then get ready to dig into the blueberry crisp deliciousness!

Enjoy a big scoop of tasty Blueberry Crisp with a dollop of whipped cream -- or not. Because believe me, this easy crisp is dee-lish either way.
