Ingredients
Scale
Blackberry Filling:
- 24 ounces (680 grams) fresh or frozen blackberries
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) flour
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 dash salt
- 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) fresh lemon juice
Crumble Topping:
- 1 cup (120 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (200 grams) granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 3 dashes salt
- 1/2 cup (113 grams) unsalted butter (softened)
Instructions
- Combine fresh blackberries with sugar, flour, cinnamon, salt, and lemon juice in a mixing bowl, ensuring each berry is evenly coated with the sweet-tangy mixture.
- Transfer the seasoned blackberries into a greased 3-quart baking dish, spreading them out to create an even layer.
- In a separate bowl, blend flour, sugar, cinnamon, and salt for the crumble topping, creating a uniform dry mixture.
- Incorporate softened butter into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter, working the mixture until it resembles coarse, crumbly texture with pea-sized clusters.
- Gently distribute the crumble topping across the blackberry base, covering the entire surface with an even layer of the buttery mixture.
- Slide the prepared dish into a preheated 350ºF oven, allowing the dessert to bake until the top turns golden brown and the fruit filling becomes effervescent and bubbly, approximately 25-30 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and let the crumble rest for 5-10 minutes, allowing the fruit juices to slightly thicken and settle.
- Garnish with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, dollop of whipped cream, or drizzle of creme anglaise for an indulgent finishing touch.
Notes
- Choose ripe, plump blackberries for the best flavor and sweetness in your crumble.
- Adjust sugar level depending on the natural sweetness of your blackberries to prevent an overly sweet dessert.
- For a gluten-free version, swap regular flour with almond flour or a gluten-free blend in both the filling and topping.
- Add a handful of sliced almonds or chopped pecans to the crumble topping for extra crunch and nutty depth.
