Instructions
1. Preheat Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish lightly with butter or cooking spray.
2. Prepare the Filling:
- In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples and blueberries with lemon juice.
- Add cornstarch, sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon to the fruit mixture, stirring to coat evenly.
- Spread the fruit mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish.
3. Make the Oat Topping:
- In another bowl, combine the rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
- Drizzle the melted butter over the dry ingredients, mixing with a fork until the mixture becomes crumbly.
4. Assemble and Bake:
- Evenly sprinkle the oat topping over the fruit mixture.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45–50 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit filling is bubbly.
5. Serve:
- Allow the crisp to cool slightly before serving. Pair with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra special dessert.
Notes
- For a nuttier topping, add chopped walnuts or pecans to the oat mixture.
- Use a mix of Granny Smith and Honeycrisp apples for a balance of tart and sweet flavors.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
