When the blueberries hit the grocery store I buy them almost everyday, because I am at the grocery store almost everyday. Lucky for me my neighborhood grocery store is small and close and has all the necessary staples. I honestly do not know how much I spend at the grocery store every week, but I am sure it is enough to sustain a small country.  

We love fruit at our house so when pears come out in the fall and blueberries come out in the summer I stock up.  I make blueberry smoothies, blueberry pancakes, blueberry muffins and blueberry crisps.  I prefer crisps over cobblers because I like the crunch the crisp has.  And a bowl of blueberry crisp with a big ole scoop of Blue Bell Vanilla ice cream is just about as close to heaven as you can get.  
Oh and did I mention it is EASY and will take you about 10 minutes of hand on time.

 

Blueberry Crisp

Serves 6-8

4 cups fresh blueberries (you can use frozen)
1 Tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 Tablespoon white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
5 Tablespoons butter, at room temperature
3/4 cup rolled oats (not instant)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla paste (you can use vanilla extract)
1/2 cup slivered or sliced almonds

Preheat oven to 375°

Rinse and drain blueberries and dump into prepared baking dish.  Sprinkle white sugar and lemon juice over berries.  

In a large bowl, using your hands or a pastry cutter, combine brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, butter, oats, vanilla and almonds.

Sprinkle oat mixture over blueberries. 

Bake for 30 minutes or until bubbly.
