Blueberry Crisp 300x300 Blueberry Crisp

There is nothing better than a blueberry crisp recipe in the summertime. This old fashion recipe is a delicious way to get these incredibly nutritious berries into your diet, such as Vitamin C, Fiber, Manganese and Anti-oxidants. Ripe, fresh blueberries are perfect for this dish, though frozen berries will also work. But keep them frozen, and bake the crisp 10 or 15 minutes longer as needed.
