This Berry Crumble is a warm, comforting dessert bursting with sweet-tart berries and a crunchy topping!
Equipment
- 9x13 inch Baking Dish
- Mixing bowls
- Whisk
- Spatula
- Measuring cups and spoons
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon unsalted butter at room temperature
- 5 cups frozen unsweetened mixed berries
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- ¾ cup granulated white sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup packed dark brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup cold unsalted butter cubed
- 1 scoop vanilla ice cream for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the frozen mixed berries, freshly squeezed lemon juice, granulated sugar, and cornstarch. Mix gently until the berries are well coated.
- Grease your baking dish with the teaspoon of unsalted butter. Pour the berry mixture into the prepared dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
- In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, dark brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt. Cut in the cold cubed butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Evenly sprinkle the crumble topping over the mixed berries in the baking dish.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the berry filling is bubbling.
- Let it cool for a few minutes. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.
Notes
- Don’t skip the cornstarch; it’s vital for thickening the berry juices.
- Avoid overmixing the crumble topping to keep it light and crumbly.
- Watch the baking time closely; every oven is different.
