Ingredients:
- 6 cups (900g) fresh blackberries
- ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp (16g) cornstarch
- 1 tbsp (15ml) lemon juice
- 1 tsp (2g) ground cinnamon
- 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (90g) rolled oats
- 1 cup (200g) packed brown sugar
- ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- ½ tsp (3g) salt
- 1 tsp (2g) ground cinnamon
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, toss the blackberries with granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and cinnamon. Stir gently to ensure the berries are evenly coated without crushing the fruit.
- Pour the berry mixture into an 8x8 inch baking dish, spreading it into an even layer.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, brown sugar, salt, and cinnamon.
- Add the chilled, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a fork or fingertips, press the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized lumps remaining.
- Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the berries.
- Bake for 30–35 minutes until the filling is bubbling around the edges and the topping is a deep mahogany-gold.
- Remove from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes to allow the juices to set.
