Best Stove Top Blueberry Crisp Recipes

STOVE TOP BLUEBERRY GRUNT

Steps:

• Combine 4 cups blueberries, 1/2 cup white sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, water, and lemon zest in a Dutch oven. Cook and stir over medium-high heat until mixture has thickened and has a jam-like texture, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Whisk lemon juice and cornstarch together in a small bowl until smooth; stir into blueberry mixture. Add remaining 4 cups blueberries to the blueberry mixture; cook and stir until blueberry mixture is heated through, about 1 minute. Remove pot from heat and cover to keep warm.
• Mix buttermilk, butter, and vanilla extract together in a measuring cup. Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and 6 tablespoons sugar together in a large bowl. Slowly stir buttermilk mixture into flour mixture until dough forms. Scoop dough using a small ice cream scoop or 2 large spoons and drop golf ball-sized dumplings atop blueberry mixture.
• Wrap lid of Dutch oven with a clean kitchen towel to absorb condensation during cooking. Cover pot with the towel-wrapped lid, keeping towel away from heat source.
• Simmer grunt until dumplings have doubled in size and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 16 to 22 minutes.
• Mix 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and 2 tablespoons white sugar together in a small bowl; sprinkle over dumplings.

CAST-IRON BERRY CRISP

Steps:

• Prepare the berries: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a 12-inch cast-iron skillet with butter and set aside. In a mixing bowl, combine the berries, granulated sugar, flour, lemon zest and balsamic vinegar. Pour into the pan and smooth into an even layer.
• Make the topping: In another mixing bowl, mix both sugars, the flour, oats, cinnamon and salt. Cut in the butter until you have a coarse crumb and the flour is fully hydrated. Sprinkle this mixture evenly and loosely over the top of the berries. Bake, uncovered, until golden brown, crisp and bubbling, 35 to 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and let sit at least 10 minutes before serving.

CRISP IN A PINCH

Steps:

• Place a small pot over medium heat and add the blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, granulated sugar and lemon zest and juice. Cook until the sugar is dissolved and the berries have released their juices, about 6 minutes.
• Meanwhile make the granola. Place a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oats and almonds and toast until light golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the skillet and reserve. Reduce the heat to medium, then add the butter to the skillet. Once the butter is melted, add the maple syrup, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt. Bring to a boil and cook for 1 minute, until you have a thin syrup. Add the toasted ingredients back to the skillet. Cook, stirring and tossing the ingredients, for 1 minute. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
• Make a slurry by stirring the cornstarch into 2 tablespoons of water. Stir into the berry mixture and allow to thicken, about 1 minute.
• Portion the berry mixture into 4 serving bowls. Top liberally with the oat and almond mix. Add 1 scoop of ice cream to each and garnish with a little more of the berry mix, a little more granola and some mint, then serve warm.
