Total Time: 50 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup cherries, pitted and halved
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish or round baking pan with butter or cooking spray.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the pitted and halved cherries and blueberries. Gently toss the fruits to mix evenly.
- In a separate large bowl, mix the rolled oats, brown sugar, all-purpose flour, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
- Pour the melted butter and vanilla extract over the dry oat mixture. Use a fork or spatula to mix until the ingredients form a crumbly, slightly moist topping.
- Spread the mixed berries evenly across the bottom of the prepared pie dish, creating a uniform fruit layer.
- Sprinkle the oat crumble mixture over the fruit, ensuring complete and even coverage.
- Place the pie dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling around the edges.
- Remove from the oven and let the crisp cool for 10-15 minutes to allow the filling to set.
- Serve warm, optionally topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Tips
- Use Fresh Fruit: For the best flavor, opt for fresh cherries and blueberries. If they're out of season, frozen fruits can be a good alternative, but make sure to thaw and drain them first to prevent excess moisture.
- Customize Your Topping: Feel free to add nuts or coconut flakes to the oat topping for extra texture and flavor. Chopped walnuts or pecans can add a delightful crunch!
- Check for Doneness: Keep an eye on your crisp as it bakes. The topping should be golden brown, and the fruit should be bubbling around the edges. If the topping browns too quickly, cover it loosely with foil.
- Let It Cool: Allow the pie crisp to cool for at least 10-15 minutes before serving. This will help the filling set and make it easier to slice.
- Serve with Style: Elevate your dessert by serving it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. The contrast of hot and cold is simply irresistible!
