I may have a new favorite fruit dessert! I don't know why I didn't think of this before. Apple crisp, all the time ... pear crisp, yes ... but never blueberry crisp? Didn't think of that until now. Now that I've tried it, I'm hooked. I think I even like it better than blueberry pie, which is one of my all-time favorite desserts! And another plus for this recipe - it's so quick and easy.
I tried two different versions of this crisp - one with red wine, and one without. I was so sure the one with wine would be better, but this was one time that adding wine was not a plus. In my side-by-side taste comparison, the without-wine version won hands-down. Not even a contest. I then had Mark do a blind testing ... same result - the "not wine" one won. No question. And I thought wine with the blueberries would be so good. Perhaps a different kind of wine ... or perhaps red wine and blueberries in a different type of blueberry dessert. I may have to keep tinkering. Until I tinker my way to a new blueberry-wine creation, enjoy this non-wine blueberry crisp!
First mix up your blueberry filling:
Then toss together your topping and sprinkle it over the blueberry mixture:
Bake it all up:
And enjoy it with a dollop of whipped cream ...
Or not....
It's dee-lish both ways!
