Ingredients

Scale

Berry Filling

  • 4 cups fresh or frozen mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

Crumble Topping

  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Berry Filling: Combine fresh or thawed frozen berries with granulated sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, and flour in a bowl. Toss gently to coat evenly, then pour the mixture into a greased baking dish.
  2. Make the Crumble Topping: In a mixing bowl, mix flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Cut the cold cubed butter into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs.
  3. Assemble and Bake: Evenly sprinkle the crumble topping over the berry filling. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the berries are bubbling.
  4. Cool and Serve: Let the crumble cool slightly (about 10-15 minutes) to thicken the juices. Serve warm for best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use fresh or frozen berries; if frozen, thaw and drain excess water to avoid watery filling.
  • Keep butter cold for a flaky, crumbly topping.
  • Gently mix the topping to prevent it from becoming dense.
  • Taste the berry filling before baking and adjust sugar if berries are very tart.
  • Cooling the crumble before serving helps the filling set perfectly.
