Pear Blueberry Crisp is a refreshing dessert, full of fresh fruit and topped with a cinnamon-sugar oat crumble – perfect for spring and summer gatherings.
This post is sponsored in conjunction with #SpringSweetsWeek. I received product samples from sponsor companies to help in the creation of the #SpringSweetsWeek recipes. All opinions are mine alone.
I’m a big fan of the crisp, it’s no secret. I mentioned yesterday that I’m not typically a big pie fan, because I don’t particularly love crust, and I feel like with a crisp, you get the delicious filling, with a crunchy topping, but no actual crust surrounding it. It’s the best of both worlds, for me. And that filling, y’all…so, so good. The pears and blueberries are so soft and warm, which pairs perfectly with the crunch bite of the topping. And if you add vanilla ice cream to the warm mixture…pure heaven.
I’ve taken to making a new flavor of crisp each year, this being my third, and I’ve gotta say, it’s one of my favorite non-cakey desserts to make now!
