Summer Fruit Crisp
Farmer’s markets and grocery store shelves are overflowing with fresh local produce – golden apricots, plumb blackberries, red raspberries, and the bluest of blueberries – that can be enjoyed in a variety of homemade treats. One of my favorite wow me desserts during the summer months is a Summer Fruit Crisp: a combination of sweet, juicy apricots, blackberries, raspberries, and crisp tangy apples combined and topped with an oaty, whole wheat crunchy topping sweetened with real maple syrup and light brown sugar and spiced up with cinnamon, nutmeg, and real vanilla extract.

Blueberry Crisp
This is a blueberry crisp for those who don’t want a lot of added sugar in their desserts and prefer the sweet taste of ripe berries with a whole grain crunchy topping.
Fresh summer blueberries have a distinctly sweeter flavor than the year-round blueberries available in most grocery stores which makes them an ideal ingredient to use in a fruit crisp: plump whole blueberries baked with a crunchy, oat topping.
When fruit is naturally sweet, very little sugar is needed to make a summer crisp, which makes for a healthier dessert but do taste the blueberries first because you can’t determine the sweetness by looking at them. If there is no tanginess to them, use the lower amount of sugar (2 tablespoons). For more tangy blueberries, increase the sugar to 1/4 cup. Read more
