Can I make Fresh Blueberry Crisp ahead of time?

Yes. You can assemble the Fresh Blueberry Crisp several hours or even one day before baking. Cover and refrigerate it until you're ready to bake. You can also bake it in advance and gently reheat it in the oven before serving to restore the crisp topping.

Can I freeze Fresh Blueberry Crisp?

Absolutely. Allow the baked crisp to cool completely, then wrap it tightly and freeze it for up to three months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and reheat in a 325°F (163°C) oven until warmed through and the topping becomes crisp again.

Why is my blueberry crisp filling too runny?

A runny filling usually means the crisp hasn't baked long enough or hasn't cooled before serving. Baking until the filling bubbles and allowing it to rest for at least 15 minutes helps the natural juices thicken properly. Using the recommended amount of flour also helps create the perfect consistency.

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 1-quart baking dish with the softened butter.
In a large bowl, combine the fresh blueberries, 1/3 cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon flour, and cinnamon. Toss gently until the berries are evenly coated.
Transfer the blueberry mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it into an even layer.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the 3/4 cup flour, brown sugar, and salt.
Add the melted butter and mix with a fork or your fingertips until coarse crumbs form.
Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the blueberry filling.
Finish by sprinkling the remaining tablespoon of granulated sugar over the topping.
Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the blueberry filling is bubbling around the edges.
Remove from the oven and let the crisp cool for 10 to 15 minutes before serving.
Serve warm on its own or with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or Greek yogurt.

Notes

Frozen blueberries can be substituted without thawing first.
Place the baking dish on a baking sheet to catch any bubbling overflow.
Allow the crisp to cool before serving so the filling thickens properly.
Add chopped pecans or rolled oats to the topping for extra texture.
Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Freeze the baked crisp for up to 3 months and reheat before serving.
Serve with vanilla ice cream or freshly whipped cream for the best flavor.
