Blueberry Crumble
Description
The crumble begins by preparing a streusel topping mixing flour, sugars, cinnamon, and salt, then cutting in cold cubed butter until coarse clumps form. Meanwhile, blueberries are combined with sugar and flour and placed in a baking dish. The crumb topping is sprinkled over the fruit and baked until the top is golden brown and the berries are bubbling and soft.
The contrast of the warm, juicy blueberry filling and the crisp, buttery topping creates a comforting dessert best served warm, optionally with ice cream as suggested. The topping’s pea-sized butter clumps produce the ideal crumbly texture.
Leftover crumble can be refrigerated and enjoyed cold or reheated briefly. The recipe adapts well to fresh or frozen blueberries offering flexibility depending on availability.
Ingredients
- 5 cups blueberries fresh or frozen
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Topping
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup butter cold, cut into cubes, unsalted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- In a medium bowl, combine the flour, white sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt for the topping.
- Using a pastry cutter, cut in the cold, cubed butter until it starts to stick together, about 3 to 4 minutes. If the mixture is powdery it needs to be mixed more. Refrigerate while preparing the blueberries.
- In a 9x9-inch dish or a 2 qt baking dish, combine blueberries, 2 tablespoons sugar, and 2 tablespoons flour.
- Sprinkle the crumble topping over the blueberry mixture and bake for 35-40 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the fruit is bubbly.
- Serve warm with ice cream.
Notes
- When cutting butter into the topping, mix until pea-sized clumps form for the best texture.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator and reheat or enjoy cold within three days.
