Ingredients
Scale
For the Filling:
- 4 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
For the Crumble Topping:
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup packed light brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or butter a 9-inch baking dish or pie dish. - Prepare the Blueberry Filling:
In a medium bowl, toss the blueberries with granulated sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch (if using). If you’re using frozen blueberries, make sure they’re fully thawed and drained before mixing. - Make the Crumble Topping:
In a separate bowl, combine the oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Add the cold, cubed butter. Using a pastry cutter, two forks, or your fingers, work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. - Assemble the Crumble:
Pour the blueberry mixture into the prepared baking dish. Evenly distribute the crumble topping over the blueberries, covering them completely. - Bake the Crumble:
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling around the edges. - Cool and Serve:
Allow the crumble to cool for 10-15 minutes before serving. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for the perfect finishing touch.
Notes
- You can use other berries like strawberries, raspberries, or blackberries for a mixed berry crumble.
- If you prefer a less sweet crumble, reduce the amount of sugar in the filling and topping.
- For added texture, you can mix chopped nuts (like almonds or pecans) into the crumble topping.
