Blueberry Crisp
A crisp is a baked dessert that has a crumbly topping made of flour, sugar, butter, and usually oatmeal and nuts. Using canned pie filling streamlines this excellent recipe.
SERVES 6
INGREDIENTS
- 1 21-ounce can blueberry pie filling
- ½ cup flour
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup oatmeal
- ½ cup chopped walnuts

Preheat oven to 400°F. Pour blueberry pie filling into 9″ square glass pan and set aside.
In medium bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, oatmeal, walnuts, and cinnamon and mix well.

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until filling is bubbly and crust is light golden brown. Serve with ice cream or whipped cream.
Crisps, Crumbles, Grunts, and Cobblers
All of these old-fashioned, homey desserts are basically the same thing: fruits with some kind of topping. Crisps use oatmeal and nuts to form a crumbly topping; crumbles are the same thing. Grunts are more like a steamed pudding, sometimes cooked on top of the stove. Cobblers are similar to a deep-dish pie, with a thick biscuit-type crust.
