Baking & Spices:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/4 tbsp cinnamon (divided)
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Dairy:

Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or an equivalent-sized dish.
2. Prepare the Fruit Filling:
- In a large mixing bowl, toss the apples and blueberries with lemon juice, granulated sugar, 1 tsp cinnamon, and cornstarch. Mix until the fruit is evenly coated.
- Spread the fruit mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish.
3. Make the Oat Topping:
- In another bowl, combine rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, 1/4 tbsp cinnamon, and salt.
- Add the cubed butter and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to blend it into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Assemble and Bake:
- Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the fruit mixture.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling.
5. Serve:
- Allow the crisp to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
Notes
- Apple Options: Use firm, tart apples like Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Fuji for the best results.
- Customization: Add chopped nuts (like pecans or walnuts) to the topping for extra crunch.
- Make It Gluten-Free: Use gluten-free oats and a gluten-free flour blend.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
