Blueberry Crisp

Blueberries are known as a superfood because of the antioxidants found in them. In addition to being a delicious snack on their own, they are wonderful to cook with. One of my favorite summer desserts is blueberry crisp. The following recipe is a simplified version of a homemade crisp because it calls for a boxed cake mix.

Blueberry Crisp

Ingredients

  • 1 stick butter
  • 3 cups of fresh blueberries (frozen can also be used)
  • 1 (20 oz) can crushed pineapples in juice
  • 1 cup of brown sugar, divided 1/2 and 1/2
  • 1 box yellow cake mix
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 2 cups chopped pecans (optional)

Instructions

  1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F
  2. Lightly butter a 9X13 baking dish
  3. Melt the rest of the stick of butter
  4. Pour in pineapple
  5. Top with blueberries, do not mix
  6. Sprinkle 1/2 cup brown sugar over blueberries and pineapple
  7. Sprinkle 1/2 cup white sugar over blueberries and pineapple
  8. Top with cake mix, do not mix
  9. Drizzle butter over the ingredients
  10. Top with 1/2 cup brown sugar
  11. Top with 2 cups of chopped pecans (if desired)
  12. Bake at 350 for about 45 minutes to 1 hour (this will depend on your oven) until blueberries are bubbling and the toppings have become crisp

Blueberry crisp is best served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.
