Apple and Blueberry Crisp
This is a great Thanksgiving dessert with a twist using the blueberries. You could substitute cranberries in place of the blueberries as well. It would also be a great spring dessert when fresh NC blueberries are available. Adding some whipped cream or vanilla ice cream wouldn’t hurt.
