Berry Crumble Recipes

TRI-BERRY CRUMBLES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place 6 creme brulee dishes on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, toss together the blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, the cornstarch, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Divide the mixture evenly among the creme brulee dishes, including any juices that collect.
• For the crumble, combine the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, oats, cinnamon, and salt in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Add the butter and mix it on low speed until the mixture is crumbly. Pinch it with your fingers until it makes large crumbles and distribute it on the berries (it will not cover them entirely). Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until the juices are bubbly and the topping is browned. Serve warm with a small scoop of vanilla ice cream.

FROZEN BERRY CRUMBLE

Steps:

• Defrost frozen berries for 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking pan.
• Toss berries, white sugar, and cornstarch together in a large bowl; set aside.
• Combine oats, brown sugar, flour, pecans, and cinnamon in a separate large bowl. Cut in butter with a pastry blender or 2 knives until crumbly. Press 1/2 of the mixture over the bottom of the prepared pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 7 to 8 minutes. Cover with berry mixture. Sprinkle remaining crumble mixture over the berries. Continue to bake until fruit is bubbly and topping is golden brown, 30 to 40 minutes.

BERRY CRUMBLE PIE

Steps:

• Make the crust: Pulse the flour, granulated sugar and salt in a food processor to combine. Add the shortening and pulse a few times until coarse crumbs form. Pulse in the butter until just combined with some pea-size pieces remaining. Pulse in the vinegar and 2 tablespoons ice water until the dough starts to come together but is still crumbly, adding up to 2 more tablespoons ice water if needed. Turn out the dough onto a piece of plastic wrap and pat into a disk. Wrap and refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour or overnight.
• Meanwhile, make the topping: Combine the oats, flour, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon and allspice in a medium bowl. Work in the butter with your fingers until clumps form. Refrigerate until ready to assemble the pie.
• Make the filling: Combine the berries, granulated sugar, brown sugar, lemon juice, tapioca, cinnamon, cardamom and salt in a large bowl; toss well.
• Place a baking sheet on the lowest oven rack and preheat to 425 degrees F. Roll out the dough into a 12-inch round on a lightly floured surface; ease into a 9-inch pie plate and crimp the edge. Refrigerate until firm, at least 20 minutes.
• Pour the berry filling into the crust and sprinkle evenly with the crumb topping. Transfer the pie to the hot baking sheet and bake 20 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 375 degrees F and continue baking, rotating the pie halfway through, until the crust and topping are browned and the filling is bubbling, 35 to 40 more minutes. (Tent loosely with foil if the pie is browning too quickly.) Transfer to a rack and let cool completely.
