Ingredients
Blueberry - Use fresh or frozen blueberry for the crisp. My personal preference is fresh blueberry.
Lemon Juice - Enhances or elevates the taste so highly recommend adding fresh lemon juice.
Sugar - Use powdered granulated sugar. Even Brown sugar works well.
Oats - Use Rolled Oats for the topping. Quick cooking oats does not hold well and steel cut oats takes time to cook.
Flour - We use all purpose flour for the topping.
Brown Sugar - I like to use brown sugar to the topping it gives a beautiful golden texture to the topping.
Melted Better - It is very important to hold the topping.
FAQ's
Both crumble and crisp are baked goodies with a streusel topping. It might have a layer or a mix of the streusel and a fruit layer. The only difference between the crumble and crisp is , crisp has oats in the streusel and crumble does not have. Cobbler on the other hand does not have any topping. All the three recipes almost use the similar ingredients.
Both fresh and frozen blueberries works well for the recipe. I prefer using fresh blueberries when they are in season . If not we can go for frozen blueberries. Frozen blueberries release water while baking. Hence add 1 tbsp of cornstarch while tossing them with sugar and then bake.
Absolutely. We can replace blueberry with any other berries. Strawberry, Raspberry or blackberry works well too. Other fruits like Apple, Pear also works well.
