Steaming, Apple Blueberry Crisp For a Cold Winter's Day

Hello everyone.

I hope you're safe and warm on this winter's day.

I know that there's been a lot of weather 

in the mid-west and east.  

I'd like to start sharing some of my

favorite recipes and ideas about food.

I do love to cook and bake.

And isn't there something so satisfying when

your hands and heart are at work to create  

 delicious, lovely to look at and good for you food.

When I was married, I had no idea that there was

 so much more to serving what we eat

 than just prepping it and getting it on the table! 

Our four boys and five girls gave me 

LOTS of opportunities

to learn creativity, grace and skill. 

And I'm still learning! 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Today, I'd like to share this very easy and delicious

crisp recipe with you.

It's perfect for a last minute throw-together dish

and is easily adjusted to different kinds of fruit.

Fresh or frozen.

Apple Blueberry Crisp

4 C. fresh blueberries

4 C. apples sliced thin

2 T. fresh squeezed lemon juice

 1 & 1/3 C. packed brown sugar

1 C. wheat flour*

1 C. old-fashioned oats*

2/3 C. butter, softened 

2 t. cinnamon

1/2 t. salt

*In baking and cooking, I try to use the healthiest 

ingredients possible. You could use white flour and quick

oats if desired.

Heat oven to 375.

Mix apples and blueberries together.

Arrange fruit in an un-greased, 13 by 9 baking dish.

Squeeze the lemon juice over the top.

Mix brown sugar, flour, oats, butter, cinnamon and salt. 

Sprinkle over the top.

Bake until topping is light brown and apples are tender. 

About 30-40 minutes.

You can serve this with ice cream as a dessert or 

topped with whipped cream.

We also eat it for breakfast as a fruit, topped with

vanilla yogurt and sliced almonds.

 I like mine with sliced almonds ANYTIME!

This really is such a quick, simple and delicious dessert!

The crumble on top just melts in your mouth. 

And it's so pretty! All the bubbling blueberry juice.

My husband noticed that the apples had taken on 

a lovely purplish- blue color as 

they baked in the  juice.

He loved this crisp. He complimented it by saying

it just might be the best dessert he'd ever eaten.

Wow.. I was surprised.

It was perfect for a cold winter's afternoon. 

We sat by the wood stove and relished 

in the warmth of hearth and home. 

I hope you've enjoyed coming by today.

I always appreciate your visits and comments.

Thank you and have a wonderful day
