Ingredients
Topping:
- Old-fashioned or quick oats
- All-purpose flour
- Packed light brown sugar
- Salt
- Butter, cut into tablespoon-size pieces
Fruit:
- Fresh blackberries, washed and dried well
- Granulated sugar
- All-purpose flour

How To Make Blackberry Crumble
Preheat the Oven:
- Set your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Make the Topping:
- In a medium bowl, mix the oats, flour, brown sugar, and salt.
- Add the butter. Use a pastry blender or two forks to mix until it becomes crumbly. Set aside.
Prepare the Filling:
- In another bowl, combine the blackberries, sugar, flour, and lemon juice. Mix well.
Assemble the Crisp:
- Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Spread the blackberry mixture evenly in the dish.
- Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the berries.
Bake:
- Bake for 45 minutes, or until the filling is bubbling and the topping is golden brown. You may need to add extra time if necessary.
Cool and Serve:
- Remove from the oven and let it sit for 10-15 minutes. This allows the fruit layer to thicken.
- Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy with ice cream, lemon frozen yogurt, or sweetened whipped cream, if desired.
