You Gotta Make This!

Is there a greater odor popping out of the oven than an apple crisp?! If I had the time I’d bake one every single day only for that 🙂

I do know we’re not formally in apple crisp season (fall) simply but BUT hear me out, pal.

What if we mixed a summer time fruit with apples and ate it proper now?! I do know, I’m feeling a bit of wild right here.

Have you ever ever thought of a blueberry and apple combo? It’s actually essentially the most scrumptious shock. Two fruits in a single crisp actually helps to deepen the flavour. And that GORGEOUS blue coloration from the blueberries! I can’t get sufficient.

This recipe combines tart apples with candy blueberries and an irresistible oat topping that provides the proper quantity of gooey crunchy sweetness. When it’s crisp and effervescent (and filling your kitchen with the perfect aroma), serve heat with vanilla ice cream (is there some other strategy to eat it?!) and revel in.

Deliver this crisp to your 4th of July celebration, to your subsequent summer time potluck, or your labor day social gathering, and it’s certain to be successful.

Or, if you happen to’re like me, you may simply make it for your self (and your loved ones after all ;)) and eat it for dessert…and why not for breakfast too. I truly actually love serving fruit crisp over a bowl of plain Greek yogurt for breakfast. YUM.
