There aren’t many things better than a yummy fruit cobbler during those spring and summer months. I love taking advantage of berries when they are in season and using them in a variety of recipes.

Blueberry season means blueberry crisp!

Fruit desserts (particularly cobblers) are some of the easiest recipes out there. They are perfect for busy nights when you are craving something sweet and want a quick dessert. I love peach blueberry crisp in the summer, and this einkorn spiced apple crisp is heaven during the cooler months!

Quick Recipe Snapshot

TOTAL TIME: About 45 minutes, start to finish.
YIELD: One large 9 x 13 baking dish. Great for a crowd!
STORAGE: Fruit crisp is best enjoyed immediately. However, it will store in an airtight container on the counter for up to 2 days.
BEST SERVED: Warm from the oven with a scoop of homemade vanilla ice cream. So, so yummy.

This Recipe Is…

  • Boosted with nutrients: Einkorn flour is an ancient grain that hasn’t been processed the same way modern wheat has. Due to this, it is packed full of protein and vitamins, and boasts a much lower gluten content than modern flour, making it a good option for those with gluten sensitivities.
  • Quick and easy: This recipe comes together easily with simple ingredients that most everyone already has on hand. Better yet, it can be prepped and baked in under an hour.
  • Packed with flavor: Sweet and juicy blueberries are baked until soft and tender and topped with a buttery, gooey brown sugar topping…heaven! Take advantage of blueberries during peak season to really let their flavor shine.

Key Ingredient Notes

This is a quick overview of a few essential ingredients needed for this recipe. Be sure to check out the recipe card below for the full list!

  • Einkorn Flour: I used all purpose einkorn flour (Jovial Foods brand).
  • Blueberries: Fresh, in season berries are highly recommended. Frozen blueberries will also work just fine (no need to thaw beforehand).
  • Rolled Oats: I used sprouted rolled oats in this crisp. Sprouted oats add extra nutrition, along with great texture in the crumble topping. Quick oats will also work in a pinch.

Step by Step Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the blueberries, einkorn flour, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix together gently, and then pour the blueberry filling into a 9 x 13 baking dish.
  3. In a separate bowl, prepare the crumble topping by combining rolled oats, flour, cinnamon, salt, and cubed cold butter. Work the butter into the rest of the ingredients using a fork, pastry cutter, or by simply using your hands. You could also add it to the food processor and pulse it a few times until it obtains a crumbly texture.
  4. Spread the crumble topping mixture over the blueberries, making sure to spread as evenly as you can.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 33-35 minutes or until lightly golden brown and bubbly.
  6. Let cool slightly before digging in. Serve warm with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream. Yum!

Recipe FAQs

What are the benefits of einkorn flour?

Einkorn wheat is an ancient grain that has not been hybridized like most modern wheat. This results in a flour that is more nutrient dense and packed full of b vitamins (unlike modern flour), with more protein and a lower gluten content that is much easier to digest, making it a good option for folks with gluten sensitivities.

How do I store blueberry crisp?

I find that with most any fruit cobbler, it stores well on the counter covered in plastic wrap for 1-2 days. You could also store it in an airtight container.

  1. This was so tasty I’m already making it again! Delicious!!! I used coconut sugar instead of brown and part coconut oil with the butter.
