Blueberry Crumble
Ingredients:
– 4 cups fresh blueberries
– 2 tablespoons lemon juice
– 1/2 cup granulated sugar
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 1/2 cup rolled oats
– 1/2 cup brown sugar
– 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch baking dish. Set aside.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the fresh blueberries, lemon juice, and granulated sugar. Gently toss the ingredients until the blueberries are well coated. Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread them out in an even layer.
3. In another bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Mix well to ensure that all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
4. Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. You want some larger pieces for extra texture.
5. Sprinkle the crumble mixture evenly over the top of the blueberries in the baking dish. The blueberries should be mostly covered with the crumble.
6. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 35-40 minutes, or until the crumble topping is golden brown and the blueberries are bubbly.
7. Once done, remove the Blueberry Crumble from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. This dessert is best enjoyed warm, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
