Photo: Blueberry Crumble Recipe
Ingredients
Filling:
- 1 teaspoon unsalted butter, softened
- 2 pints blueberries, or any other berry
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/2 cup apple cider or orange juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Streusel Topping:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cut into cubes
- 1/2 cup toasted oats
- 1/2 cup chopped, toasted almonds
Directions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly butter an 8-inch square baking dish.
For the filling: In a bowl, add the blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, cider, and vanilla, Carefully mix the ingredients together with a spatula, leaving the blueberries whole. Set aside while you assemble the topping.
For the topping: In the bowl of a mixer, add the flour, sugars, and butter. Using the paddle attachment, incorporate the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture looks mealy or crumbly. (This can be done by hand.) Stir in the oats and nuts.
Pour the filling into an 8-inch square baking dish and evenly distribute the topping over the fruit. Bake for 30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling. Cool slightly and serve warm.

Wonderful recipe as is--easy and fast to make, very tasty, and best of all; VERSATILE! Have made this numerous times using different fruits and combinations thereof, using granola instead of oats, pecans instead of almonds. Freshly squeezed OJ with the zest is excellent! This recipe can easily be doubled in a 9 x 13 pan with slightly longer cooking time. For the filling, thoroughly whisking the sugar and corn starch into the juice FIRST prevents any clumping or settling. For those who have complained about this recipe being too runny---they served too quickly after taking out of oven. You must wait a bit to allow the corn starch to work(set.

It was super easy and tasted delicious. I did make a couple of changes to some ingredients, though, because I decided to make this on a whim and didn't want to go to the grocery store. So I just decided to make it with items I had on-hand. I only had a pint and a half of blueberries so I added some frozen pomegranate seeds to make up the difference. I also used brandy in place of the apple/orange juice and instead of almonds, I used some pecans. I will definitely make this recipe again and continue to play with the ingredients.

This is in the oven right now, but I know it's going to be a smash! I only had 1 pint of blueberries, so I added 2 cups of chopped peaches. Then... I had no OJ or cider, so I used apple schnapps...with a little for myself; I also added some cinnamon and a grind of fresh nutmeg. Can't wait to try it!
