Sharing our favorite berry crumble today! My Skillet Berry Crumble is simple to prepare and delicious with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.
Berry Crumble
I LOVE using my cast iron skillet….for recipes of all kinds sweet and savory. It certainly makes a rustic and beautiful berry crumble that I have shared with you today. I like to describe this dessert as family style where everyone grabs a spoon and digs in together. More fun that way. It’s great for a special family night or Sunday dinner dessert….and it’s done in about 30 minutes, woohoo! I love seeing the berry filling ooze out of the buttery crumble topping. I’m salivating just thinking about it!

How To Make Berry Crumble
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Place blueberries, corn starch, lemon juice and sugar into a 9 inch cast iron skillet over medium heat, stirring to combine. Stir and cook until bubbly and thick, about 7 minutes. Turn heat off.
- To prepare crumb topping add flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt into a large mixing bowl, stir to combine. With a pastry cutter, cut in ice cold butter cubes until small pea size balls form. This takes a good constant 5 minutes of cutting butter into flour mixture. Pour crumb topping over blueberries and bake for 25-30 minutes, until blueberries are bubbling and crust is golden and firm to the touch. Remove and serve with warm with ice cream on top.
Once that crumble is out of the oven, let it cool for 10 minutes then top it with your favorite vanilla ice cream and dig in with your favorite people 🙂
What Is The Difference of a Cobbler and Crumble?
A cobbler is a deep-dish baked fruit dessert with a thick dropped-biscuit or pie dough topping.
Crumble is similar to a crisp. A crumble is a baked fruit dessert with a layer of topping. A crumble topping rarely includes oats or nuts, and is instead usually a streusel-like combination of flour, sugar and butter.

I love blueberries, my family and I can’t get enough of them. I would love this bag for myself since I just had a baby. But if I was going to win, I would give it to my twin sister who is pregnant with twins. She will definitely get lots of use out of it.
Verry difficult choice between strawberries and raspberries….really like them both. For the bag, it would be a gift for my daughter.
My favorite berry is a blackberry. Make cobblers all summer long with them. I follow PP on Pinterest. Thanks for the giveaway. My daughter would get the bag.

I love the fact that you can freeze them and they still taste delicious 😀
I would give it to my brother and sister in law. They just had a new baby girl and since I live overseas, I haven’t had a chance to see her yet. I would love to bring a great present along with me 🙂
love blackberries. The bag would be for my daughter.
