Ingredients
- 5 5 cups fresh blueberries
- 1 1 lemon juiced
- 1 1 tsp almond extract
- 1/2 1/2 cup granulated sugar + 3 TBSP divided
- 1/4 1/4 tsp cinnamon heaping
- 3/4 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 1/4 tsp fine salt
- 7 7 Tablespoon unsalted butter cubed
- 3/4 3/4 cup sliced almonds
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. In a mixing bowl, combine blueberries, lemon juice, almond extract, 3 TBSP sugar, and cinnamon until blueberries are coated. Transfer to an 8x8 baking dish.
- In a separate bowl, add flour, 1/2 cup sugar, salt, cubed butter, and a pinch of cinnamon. Use a pie blender, fork, or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour mix. Once small - medium pea-sized pebbles form, stir in almond slices. Spread evenly on top of the blueberries.
- Bake for 35-42 minutes until the top is golden brown and the blueberries are bubbly. If it's bubbling and only slightly brown (around 30-35 minutes) you can also just turn on the broiler for 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Watch carefully so it doesn't burn if you use the broiler! Let sit for at least 20 minutes to let the juices settle.
- Serve with vanilla ice cream and/or a garnish of fresh mint or basil.

Notes
- Store covered either on the counter (1-2 days) or in the fridge (3-4 days). Eat leftovers at room temperature or reheat in oven for best results - this will keep the topping crisp - you can reheat in the microwave with less crisp crust results.
