A simple fruit crisp recipe for two! This Skillet Blueberry Crisp is gluten-free, vegan, and top allergy-free. Get out that cast iron and make a healthy, easy treat when you need something sweet and comforting!
Finally! A fruit crisp! I kept telling myself I would make one for the past few years and I finally did. They always sounded so cozy and delicious; sweet fruity simplicity, but they always evaded me for some unknown reason. Who could say no to fruit with a crisp/crumble topping all hot, warm, and gooey from the oven? Not sure, but obviously I had some mental resistance to it!
It's okay though, we've remedied that! I think the reason why I never got around to making a fruit crisp earlier was because I only just got my baby cast iron this past Christmas. Can you really dare make a fruit crisp in something other than a cast iron? You'd be missing out on half the magic and comfort! Anything in the skillet is cozy and rustic; make this in a plain old baking dish and you'll cry...possibly.
If you're like me, you're probably also wondering what the difference is between a crisp, crumble, and cobbler. A crisp is fruit baking with a crisp topping of flour/granola (oats)/ and sugar. A crumble is the same, but with a doughier/clumpier/softer topping. A cobbler has a biscuit/dumpling type crust that looks like "cobble stones". The easiest to make? I say a crisp!
I make this blueberry crisp even easier for you and used pre-made granola! You can use my homemade blueberry flax granola or KIND blueberry flax granola for a nut-free version (mine 2 tablespoons of crumbled cashews in it which can easily be left out!) You could top it with any granola you have on hand, that goes with the blueberry! If you tell me you don't have granola at home either...you're going to make me cry again! I'm granola girl, remember?
Another fun thing about this blueberry crisp? Fully (not optional) to add a little scoop of some vegan ice cream! That's a given right? Warm ooey gooey fruitiness with a crunchy topping and cold vanilla ice cream that just melts into all the goodness? YES, please! If you skip the ice cream you could have this for breakfast, if you top it with ice cream, well, I think you're forced to call it dessert 😉 So grab your gluten-free, vegan, food allergy best buddy and dig in!

Maybe it's just me, but nothing says, "I love you" more than sharing a warm and cozy blueberry crisp with someone! It's the perfect recipe to serve up on one of these last dwindling care-free days of summer! Not only should you make this blueberry crisp, but perhaps a summer peach crisp, cherry, raspberry, blackberry...you get the picture! No time like the present than to order that baby cast iron either...it's essential!

The skillet blueberry crisp looks marvelous, and I have to admit that the ice cream puts it over the top for me. Shared and pinned.

Nico @ yumsome
I love fruit crumble (we call them crumbles even if they have a crispy topping)! I've never made one in cast iron though - I use a Pyrex dish - I suspect it's a generational thing, maybe cultural too. My gran used Pyrex, and everyone I knew used Pyrex. I was 18 before I ever used a cast iron pan - and I still have the skillets my best friend's mum bought me for my 18th - I'm 54 now!
Am totally with you on having hot crumble with ice cream! 🙂
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
The melty ice cream is the perfect compliment!
Annmarie

We would call this a blueberry crumble here in Scotland, although the oaty topping would be finer and more you guessed it, crumbly. It looks great!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
That's why there is a difference 😉
