Perfect Berry Crumble Recipe

By Lynxa

Use any type of berry on hand
blackberries, raspberries, blueberries and mixed berries are the best!

Ingredients

• 6 cups fresh or frozen berries (if frozen, thaw slightly)
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 2 tbsp cornstarch
• 3 tbsp unsalted butter, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
• 1 cup flour
• 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed optional
• 1 cup uncooked, old fashioned rolled oats
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp nutmeg
• 1/4 tsp allspice
• pinch salt
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla powder (optional)

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Place the berries in a large mixing bowl.

In a small mixing bowl combine the sugar and cornstarch. Blend thoroughly.

Sprinkle the sugar and cornstarch mixture over the berries and gently combine with a rubber spatula.

Spray an 8x8 inch pan with cooking spray and pour the berry mixture into the pan.

Bake for 20 minutes.

In a medium sized mixing bowl, add the butter, flours, brown sugar, oats, cinnamon and, if using, the vanilla powder. Use your fingers to blend the ingredients until crumbly.

After 20 minutes, remove the fruit from the oven and evenly sprinkle the crumb topping onto the fruit.
Return to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes.

Serve warm or at room temperature.

Note: cover a baking tray with a layer of foil and place the crumble on it before placing it in the oven. This will catch any drips that may occur.

If you have any leftovers, keep the top crunchy by placing a paper towel over the crumble rather than using foil or plastic wrap.
