If you are looking for a super easy dessert recipe to add to your repertoire, this Fresh Blueberry Crisp is just that.
It only takes minutes to put it together, then you let it bake and get nice and bubbly in the oven. And that’s it!!
You could definitely serve this with a scoop of ice cream or whipped cream, but I thought it was pretty perfect just as is.
While the recipe only has a few ingredients, I loved that it still was full of flavor and not boring whatsoever.
This Fresh Blueberry Crisp is easy enough to whip up any day of the week, and I can’t wait to try it again and again!
Ingredients
- Butter: You’ll need both softened butter and melted butter. I like to use unsalted butter. If you do use salted butter, you’ll want to cut back on the amount of salt in the topping.
- Blueberries: My favorite is fresh blueberries, but you can also use frozen blueberries.
- Sugar: You need granulated sugar for the filling, then light brown sugar for the topping. I also add on some granulated sugar to the topping before baking.
- Flour: Again, the flour goes in both the filling and the topping. I use all-purpose flour.
- Cinnamon: The cinnamon gives the filling a little bit of warmth.
- Salt: I will use sea salt. It is less intrusive than table salt. There have been a few commenters that said that this is too salty, so feel free to cut back on the amount of salt. Especially if you are using table salt.
How to Make Blueberry Crisp
Prep your dish by spreading butter over the bottom.
Make your filling – all it takes is stirring together your berries, sugar, flour, and cinnamon.
Pour this into your dish.
Make the topping but combining flour, brown sugar, salt and melted butter. I think it’s easiest to use my fingers to combine everything until it resembles coarse sand.
Sprinkle this over the filling.One more sprinkle of sugar on top, then you bake it until it is golden and bubbly. So easy!

Tips and Tricks
- Can I use frozen blueberries? Yes! Frozen blueberries can be substituted for fresh ones.
- If blueberries aren’t your favorite, switch them out for some raspberries or peaches.
- I like to use a deep dish pie pan, but a 9×9 square dish will work as well.
- Place your baking dish on top of a cookie sheet to avoid any messes if your crisp bubbles over.
- Keep an eye on your crisp as it is baking, as different ovens cook differently. The crisp will be done when it’s nice and golden on top and the blueberries are bubbling.

Fresh Blueberry Crisp
Ingredients
Filling:
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter softened
- 12 oz fresh blueberries
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Crisp:
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Spread the 1 tablespoon of softened butter on the bottom of a 1 quart baking dish. (I used a 9-inch deep dish pie dish and it worked perfectly.)
- Combine the blueberries, sugar, flour and cinnamon in a large bowl. Pour the berry mixture into the prepared pan.
- In the same bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar and salt. Add the melted butter and use your fingers to mix the mixture so that it resembles coarse sand. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the top of the berries. Sprinkle the tablespoon of sugar over the top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes until the filling is bubbling and the crisp topping is browned.

I made this in a 9×9 baking dish and found the layer of berries was too thin. I also had the dessert in for longer than 45 minutes and the top didn’t brown at all although the berries were starting to be overcooked. Also tasted weirdly salty? Not bad with ice cream but I think it needs too many adjustments for me to bother making it again.
Melissa Brown says
I agree! Just made it for the first time and my guest could not eat it. Too salty! I’m surprised there are not more comments about this. I would make it again, but use a pinch of salt. Supper easy fast recipe!
marie says
I have no idea what went wrong??? I reread the recipe several times and followed exactly. Seemed to be too much topping and very dry? after cooking it an extra 15 minutes and still not working I took off about 1/3 cup of the topping then tried 10 more minutes still not browning
although smells great , so last try mixed it all together a little baking 10 more minutes? Seemed like too much flour , or needed more butter? Oh well ingredients are so precious right now.
Melody Crook says
I like this recipe but next time I make it I will replace the flour for the topping with oats like oatmeal and give it crispier topping

Great way to use fresh-picked blueberries.
Gretchen Hakola says
This recipe is a winner. Very easy to put together and just the right amount of crunch and sweetness. I’m making it again today.
Cara says
This is my favorite recipe. I made it once a week during the spring and summer! I will sometimes add other fruits in with the blueberries. I’ve tried blueberries and apples, blueberries and cherries, and blueberries and blackberries. I actually also add a half a tablespoon of cornstarch too which keeps the filling a little more in place when serving it!
Jessica says
Great recipe! This was so easy and tasted like I had spent so much time making! Added some fresh blackberries to the recipe, It was perfect! Thank you for the quick recipe!!
Samarah Perdue says

Lisa Blackwood says
My son said this is amazing. I agree whole heartedly, this had the best taste and easy to make. Can’t wait to make again.
Carol Lindley says
Good fresh blueberry recipe. My friends thought it was perfect! I thought it was a little too sweet and I made it without the extra tablespoon on top.
Makayla says
Does it have to be fresh blueberries?
Deborah says
I haven’t tried it with blueberries that aren’t fresh before. Often, frozen blueberries will get really watery, but they might work in this crisp.
