Blackberry Crumble (recipe)

[Guest guest]

I made this with the fresh blackberries I picked last

week. I like lots of crumble topping, so sometimes I

double the recipe to get the topping/fruit ratio I

like. This recipe makes a good amount of topping.

Other fruits or combinations of fruits can be

used....blueberry, apple, peaches, raspberries are all

good. When fresh fruit isn't available, use frozen.

 

Blackberry Crumble

 

Topping:

1 cup quick-cooking oats (I used 1/2 cup oats and 1/2

cup 9-grain cereal)

1/2 cup finely chopped pecans

1/3 cup wheat germ or oat bran

2 tablespoons brown sugar

Pinch of cinnamon

4 tablespoons butter

 

At least 2 cups fresh blackberries (frozen can be used

instead)

1 - 2 tablspoons sugar (I used 1 packet of Splenda)

 

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

 

Combine the first 6 topping ingredients in a small

bowl to make the crumble topping.

 

Wash the fresh blackberries and toss with sugar. Pour

the fruit into a lightly oiled 9- by

9-inch baking pan or round pie plate and pat in

evenly. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the fruit.

 

Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the topping is

golden and turning crisp. Allow to cool until just

warm, then serve on its own or topped whipped cream,

ice cream, or yogurt.
