The proper summer season and fall dessert, this blueberry apple crisp is made with contemporary fruit and a crispy, buttery oat brown sugar topping. Serve heat with vanilla ice cream for the last word deal with!

You Gotta Make This!

Is there a greater scent popping out of the oven than an apple crisp?! If I had the time I’d bake one on daily basis only for that 🙂

I do know we’re not formally in apple crisp season (fall) simply but BUT hear me out, pal.

What if we mixed a summer season fruit with apples and ate it proper now?! I do know, I’m feeling somewhat wild right here.

Have you ever ever thought of a blueberry and apple combo? It’s actually essentially the most scrumptious shock. Two fruits in a single crisp actually helps to deepen the flavour. And that GORGEOUS blue colour from the blueberries! I can’t get sufficient.

This recipe combines tart apples with candy blueberries and an irresistible oat topping that provides the proper quantity of gooey crunchy sweetness. When it’s crisp and effervescent (and filling your kitchen with the most effective aroma), serve heat with vanilla ice cream (is there another solution to eat it?!) and luxuriate in.

Deliver this crisp to your 4th of July celebration, to your subsequent summer season potluck, or your labor day celebration, and it’s certain to be successful.

Or, for those who’re like me, you possibly can simply make it for your self (and your loved ones in fact ;)) and eat it for dessert…and why not for breakfast too. I truly actually love serving fruit crisp over a bowl of plain Greek yogurt for breakfast. YUM.
