Ingredients

Scale

Berry Filling

  • 4 cups mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, and blackberries)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (adjust based on berry sweetness)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

Crumble Topping

  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup old-fashioned oats
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into chunks

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Berry Filling: In a large bowl, gently toss the mixed berries with granulated sugar, lemon juice, and one tablespoon of flour. This helps thicken the juices during baking and creates the juicy base for the crumble.
  2. Make the Crumble Topping: In a separate bowl, combine flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Cut in cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. This ensures a crisp, golden topping.
  3. Assemble and Bake: Transfer the berry mixture to a greased baking dish. Evenly sprinkle the crumble topping over the fruit. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 35 to 40 minutes until the berries bubble and the topping is golden brown.
  4. Cool and Serve: Allow the crumble to rest for 10 to 15 minutes before serving to let the juices thicken slightly and enhance the flavor.

Notes

  • Use cold butter to achieve a crumbly topping texture.
  • Avoid overmixing the crumble topping for a light, crunchy finish.
  • Adjust sugar amount depending on the natural sweetness of your berries.
  • Let the crumble rest after baking for easier slicing and better flavor melding.
  • Both fresh and frozen berries work well; thaw frozen berries before use for best results.
