Yesterday I used up the last of the fruit we got at Larriland Farm making a Blackberry-Blueberry Crumble. For those of you who want to use up fruit but don't make your own piecrust and have found yourself without a pillsbury crust in the freezer, Crumbles are the easiest! You can use any kind of fruit or mix of fruit: think peaches, blackberries, strawberries, raspberries, blueberries...
You just mix your fruit (about four-five cups) with 3-4 tablespoons of white sugar. Dump that in a 9" x 13" casserole dish.
Mix together with a pastry cutter or two knives or your fingers:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 1/2 cups butter
Dump this crumble mix over the fruit and spread it out. Don't pack it down too much, this thing is called a "crumble."
Bake at 350 F for about 40 minutes until berry/fruit mixture is bubbly and crumble is golden brown and crumbly.
Enjoy with vanilla ice cream.
That sounds absolutely delicious! I might have to go buy a mix of fruit so that I can have left over fruit to make a crumble! Ahhh, Summer! I love summer so much I think I'm going to marry it.
