Topping

4 tablespoons chilled butter
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons white sugar
1/2 cup oatmeal
1/4 cup flour
pinch of salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon

Filling
2 medium apples
3 tablespoons sugar
1/2 tablespoon flour
1/2 cup fresh blueberries

To make the topping: Cut the butter into small cubes and keep cold until ready to use. In a bowl, place sugars, oatmeal, flour, salt and cinnamon. Mix well. Add the butter and continue to mix on low speed until the mixture is crumbly and there are no visible butter chunks. Keep refrigerated until ready to use.

To make the filling: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Peel and core the apples. Dice them into approximately ½-inch cubes. Toss them in a bowl with the sugar and flour. Add the berries and toss lightly. Spoon the fruit mixture into a 9-inch-square baking dish. Squeeze the topping a bit to form a clumpy texture; scatter topping over the apples.

Place the crisp in the middle of the oven and bake for about 45 minutes, or until it is golden brown and bubbling on top. Serve warm with ice cream or whipped cream.
