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
  • Fresh lemon juice

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.
