Cherry Blueberry Crisp

Today I had a mountain of cherries on the verge of going bad, and blueberry bushes that are starting to produce like crazy, so clearly it was time to make a crisp.

I was in the mood for more of a granola-y, breakfast-y crisp than a dessert one, so this one is heavy on the oats and low on the sugar (but because these are sweet cherries, not sour cherries, it's still pretty sweet). Goes very well with some nice plain yogurt.

This is a very flexible recipe--amounts of everything are approximate. I discovered that a vegetable peeler works very well for pitting cherries.

Cherry Blueberry Crisp

1.5 cups pitted red cherries
1.5 cups blueberries
5-6 tbsp rolled oats (regular or quick-cooking--NOT instant)
4 tbsp butter
2 tbsp brown sugar

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine cherries and blueberries in a small (about 6 in by 6 in) baking dish. In a bowl, mix butter, oats and sugar until just combined. Sprinkle on fruit. Bake 30 minutes. Let cool and serve for breakfast with plain yogurt.

Serves 2-3.
