Blueberry Betty

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease an 8-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.

In a large bowl, toss the blueberries with sugar and lemon juice until evenly coated, then spread the mixture evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

Prepare a sweetened crumb topping by combining breadcrumbs or crushed crackers with sugar and a pinch of salt, then sprinkle the mixture evenly over the blueberry layer.

Repeat the layering process, alternating between the blueberry mixture and the crumb topping, finishing with a crumb layer on top.

Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake until the topping is golden brown and the blueberry filling is bubbling around the edges.

Remove the Blueberry Betty from the oven and allow it to cool slightly so the filling can set before serving.

In a chilled bowl, whip the cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form to create a lightly sweetened whipped cream topping.

Serve the Blueberry Betty warm, topped with a generous dollop of the freshly whipped cream and an optional dusting of powdered sugar.
