Description
This Blackberry Crumble is a cozy, fruit-forward dessert with juicy blackberries bubbling beneath a crisp, buttery oat topping. Simple to make and deeply comforting, it’s perfect served warm with a scoop of ice cream.
Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh or frozen blackberries
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch or flour
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and butter a 9×9-inch baking dish.
- In a bowl, toss blackberries with granulated sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, and vanilla. Spread into prepared dish.
- In another bowl, mix flour, brown sugar, oats, cinnamon, and salt.
- Cut in cold butter using a pastry cutter or fingers until mixture forms coarse crumbs.
- Sprinkle crumble topping evenly over blackberry mixture.

Notes
- Use a mix of berries for variation or add chopped nuts for crunch.
