Tips for Making Berry Crumbles

Use a mix of berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries) for the best flavor
If using frozen fruit, do not thaw to avoid excess liquid
Add a little cornstarch to thicken the filling
Taste your berries first—adjust sugar depending on sweetness
Use cold butter for a perfectly crumbly topping
Don’t overmix the crumble—keep it slightly chunky
Bake until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling
Let it rest for 10–15 minutes before serving to set the juices
Make sure the butter is cold
I prefer to set the crumble in the refrigerator until ready to top the berries to keep cold
Baking time will vary depending on the pan that can be used
This crumble tastes the best warm and on the first day (reheat in the microwave for 11 minutes)
Cube the butter first before adding to the mixture for the best results
If using frozen berries, make sure you blot off any ice with paper towels first
Quick oats or old-fashioned oats can be used in this recipe
Any fresh fruits you prefer can be substituted for blueberries. See the list below
