Baked Fruity Goodness

I had a pint of blueberries in the fridge that were going nowhere fast thanks to Nick traveling this week. I didn't want to waste them so I figured I'd whip up some type of blueberry crisp or cobbler for dessert when Nick got back into town. I looked through a lot of recipes and didn't quite find what I was looking for so I created my own. I absolutely loved it and Nick went back for seconds (a true sign that something is a hit). I'm sure this would be fabulous with any fruit!!


Blueberry Crisp

1 pint (~2 cups) fresh blueberries
2 Tablespoons white sugar
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup rolled oats
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
3/4 cup butter

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2. In a large bowl, gently toss together blueberries and white sugar; set aside.

3. In a separate large bowl, combine flour, oats and brown sugar. Cut in butter until crumbly. Press half of mixture in bottom of 8x8 baking dish. Cover with berries. Sprinkle remaining crumble mixture over berries.

4. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes, or until berries are bubbly and topping is golden brown.

Mmmmm crisp!

I had my mom over yesterday for a Mother's Day lunch and a day spent shopping. I wanted to make all of her favorites and she requested apple crisp for dessert. I have never actually made apple crisp and asked my BFF Kayte if she had a recipe. She was kind enough to share with me her grandmother's recipe. It turned out AMAZING. We all loved it and I will definitely be saving it as my go-to apple crisp recipe :) Thank you Kayte!


Apple Crisp

1 cup flour
3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 dash salt
1 egg, slightly beaten
8 Tablespoons butter (1 stick), melted
4 apples, peeled and sliced (I used Granny Smith, per the recipe recommendation)
2 teaspoons cinnamon

Mix flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Gradually add egg until crumbly.

Layer apples in an 8x8 glass baking dish. Cover with flour mixture. Drizzle with butter. Sprinkle with cinnamon.

I baked at 375 for about 35-40 minutes until bubbly and very brown on top.
