Ingredients

Scale

For the Filling:

  • 4 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Crumble Topping:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed

Instructions

Prepare the Filling:

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Mix the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the blueberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Toss until the blueberries are evenly coated.
  3. Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the mixture into a greased 9×9-inch baking dish and spread it out evenly.

Make the Crumble Topping:

  1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Mix well.
  2. Cut in the Butter: Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Assemble and Bake:

  1. Top with Crumble: Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the blueberry filling.
  2. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

Cool and Serve:

  1. Cool: Let the blueberry crumble cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.
  2. Serve: Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra treat!

Notes

  • Feel free to mix in other berries, such as raspberries or blackberries, for a mixed berry crumble.
  • This crumble can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge, then baked before serving for a warm dessert.
  • For a gluten-free version, substitute the flour with a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend.
