Ingredients
Scale
Blackberries:
- 24 ounces (680 grams) fresh or frozen blackberries
Sugars:
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) granulated sugar
- 1 cup (200 grams) granulated sugar
Flour:
- 1 tablespoon (8 grams) flour
- 1 cup (125 grams) all-purpose flour
Butter:
- 1/2 cup (113 grams) unsalted butter, softened
Spices:
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Liquids:
- 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) fresh lemon juice
Seasonings:
- 1 dash salt
- 3 dashes salt
Instructions
- Prepare the oven at 350F (175C) and lightly coat a 3-quart baking dish with nonstick spray to prevent sticking.
- In a mixing bowl, gently combine blackberries with sugar, flour, cinnamon, salt, and lemon juice, ensuring each berry is evenly coated with the mixture.
- Transfer the seasoned blackberry mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it uniformly across the bottom.
- Create the crumble topping by whisking flour, sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a separate bowl until well blended.
- Incorporate softened butter into the dry ingredients, using a pastry cutter or fork to break down the mixture into rough, pebble-like crumbs.
- Distribute the crumble topping evenly over the blackberry base, covering the entire surface with a consistent layer.
- Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, watching for a golden-brown topping and bubbling fruit filling.
- Remove from the oven and allow the crumble to rest for 5-10 minutes, which helps the filling set and thicken.
- Serve warm, optionally accompanied by vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or creme anglaise for added indulgence.
Notes
- Choose ripe, plump blackberries for the most vibrant and sweet flavor in your crumble.
- Adjust sugar levels based on the natural sweetness of your blackberries, tasting the filling before baking.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with almond flour or gluten-free flour blend in both filling and topping.
- Add a sprinkle of sliced almonds or rolled oats to the crumble topping for extra texture and nutty flavor.
