Easy Blueberry Crisp
It’s blueberry season and blueberries are my all-time favorite fruit, so when I saw this beautiful and easy recipe at Inn Cuisine, I knew I had to try it. With pineapple, blueberries, cake mix and walnuts added in layers, it’s an unusual method, and I was curious how blueberries would pair with pineapple.
It definitely works. I served it at my 4th of July get-together and everyone loved this blueberry walnut crumble (or is it a crunch?). It’s not too sweet; the blueberry flavor is most predominant and the texture is a perfect blend of crunchy topping and soft fruit.
The prep time is only about 10 minutes if all of your ingredients are assembled. I’ve simplified the recipe a bit and it is extremely easy to put it all together.
- Pineapple - 1 (16 ounce) can, crushed (Do not drain. the original recipe calls for unsweetened but I mistakenly bought it in light syrup and it worked fine)
- Blueberries - 3 cups (2 pints fresh, or you can use frozen, not thawed)
- White Sugar - 1/4 cup
- Brown Sugar - 1/4 cup, packed
- Lemon Juice - 2 Tblsp.
- Yellow Cake Mix - 1 box
- Butter - 1/2 cup, melted
- Walnuts - 1 cup, chopped
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Spray a 13″ X 9″ baking dish with oil.
- Pour entire can of pineapple (yes, including liquid) into the pan and spread evenly.
- In a small bowl, mix blueberries with white sugar and lemon juice to cover completely.
- Pour blueberry mixture evenly on top of pineapple.
- Pour cake mix (yes, dry) on top, evenly. It’s weird, but it works.
- Drizzle butter over the cake mix.
- Add walnuts and brown sugar evenly on top.
- Bake for 20 minutes and then poke holes in the cake with a butter knife. Poke all over the cake - around 30 times, to allow the juices to bubble up and mix with the dry cake mix.
- Cook for another 30-40 minutes, or until the top is a nice deep brown. You might notice that there is still some dried cake mix on top but it seems to blend with the blueberry mix as it cools.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.
This blueberry crumble is amazingly delicious as is, or top with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
Blueberry Crumble looks delicious waiting to be served.
