A warm, fruity blueberry crisp with a tender topping, perfect for casual gatherings or family desserts, combining sweet blueberries with a buttery, bisquick crumb topping.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Spray a pan with cooking spray (Pam).
- Put blueberries in the prepared pan.
- Beat together sugar, milk, eggs, Bisquick baking mix, and softened butter until smooth.
- Pour the batter mixture over the blueberries.
Tips & Substitutions
For a sweeter crisp, try adding a tablespoon of lemon juice to the blueberries. If you don't have Bisquick, you can make a homemade baking mix using flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Consider using frozen blueberries if fresh ones aren't available. To enhance flavor, mix in a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a sprinkle of cinnamon into the batter.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the blueberry crisp warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream on top. It pairs beautifully with a side of fresh fruit or a light salad, making it a delightful end to any meal. For those looking for a brunch option, it can also be served alongside Dede'S Poppy Seed Cheese Bread for a delicious spread.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place individual portions in the microwave for about 30 seconds or until warm. For a crispy topping, you can also pop it in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes. Enjoy it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use other fruits besides blueberries?
Absolutely! This recipe works well with other berries like raspberries or blackberries, and even stone fruits like peaches or cherries. Just make sure to adjust the sugar based on the sweetness of the fruit you choose.
Is it possible to make this recipe dairy-free?
Yes, you can substitute the milk with almond milk or another non-dairy alternative and use a dairy-free butter spread. These swaps will keep the recipe delicious while accommodating dietary restrictions.
How can I make the topping crunchier?
For a crunchier topping, consider adding oats or chopped nuts to the Bisquick mixture. Almonds or walnuts work great, giving an extra layer of texture and flavor to the crisp.
