Blueberry Crisp

Blueberry crisp is a bubbly crispy dish. The fruit added oozes out the juices making the dish irresistible. I chose blueberries as my love to them is inexpressible & I love to include them into my diet as much as possible. You can replace any fruit to blueberries & can enjoy this dish. I replaced the all purpose flour to almond meal to make it a little healthy.
