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 am normally an apple crisp girl but this recipe has changed my mind on that! Soooo easy and soooo delicious! Served it warm with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream. Delicious!!!!
Deborah says
Yay – I’m so glad you loved it!
Delci says
I usually like oats in my crisp topping, so I added a little. But still didn’t really like the texture of this topping and pretty sweet from that plus the blueberries for me. But my in-laws liked it!
Sheryl says
We absolutely love this recipe. It will be regularly made in our home! Question: Can it be made ahead of time, stored in the fridge, and baked later in the same day so that it is fresh for when we entertain company for dinner? Thx 🙂
Deborah says
I have not tried it, but I’m guessing that would work fine!
Gail says

TOO SALTY. Also the top doesn’t brown!! Beware as this recipe doesn’t come out how you think.

Lynn S says
I made this quickly and easily. It was delicious and I will definitely make it again. I used a 9″ pie dish and it fitted with room to spare. I had some vanilla ice cream in the freezer and it was a perfect complement.
Lynn S says
I forgot to give the well-deserved 5 star rating!
Linda gioia says
I’ve never liked blueberry pies even though I like blueberries. I bought blueberries that were to soft, I like them firm. I hated throwing them out so I googled a blueberry recipe and liked the sound of this one. Omg it was fantastic actually I ate the whole pie and at this moment making it again, highly recommend
Kj says
As you said… this recipe is simple to make, from simple ingredients & simply delicious. My Hubby is a huge Blueberry fan but I don’t always have time to make pies & such. So this can be whipped up so quickly as I did it tonight while I was putting supper together. ❤ Thanks from an older veteran cook who’s grandpa owned a bakery. 👩🍳
Sheila says
This recipe sounds so amazing the only thing I’m missin is the brown sugar. Can I do without it in the recipe?
