How to Make Blueberry Crisp
Mix the blueberry filling ingredients. Add the blueberries, flour, vanilla, lemon juice, and salt in to a bowl. Toss the ingredients together.
Make the topping. Place the oats, flour, brown sugar, salt, and softened butter into a separate bowl and cut the ingredients together until they are a cookie dough consistency.
Layer the ingredients. Pour the blueberries in a greased 9×9 baking dish. Sprinkle the topping over the blueberry filling.
Bake. Place the blueberry crisp in the oven and bake at 375ºF and bake for 30 minutes, cover with tin foil, and bake for an additional 15 minutes.
Let it cool. Remove the crisp from the oven and let it cool for 10-15 minutes. This is important because it allows the blueberry filling to thicken to perfection.
