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

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.

    Strawberries & boysenberries are my favorite! The bag is a tough one, would love to keep it for myself, but will probably give it to a friend who is having a boy in a few weeks.

    My favorite berry is definitely strawberries! And I would totally keep this bag to myself!

  3. Carla @ Carlas Confections

    Mt favorite berry is blueberry, and my sister in law who is pregnant right now would get the bag (then I might have to take it when I have a baby ;))

    My favorite berry is blueberries. This dessert looks amazing! I have to say I would definitely keep this bag. It is too beautiful to pass up!

    I love strawberries and the fact that they “kick off” the start of berry season! I do enjoy the blueberries and black raspberries later on. As for the bag, either for me or a girlfriend…depends on who has one first! 😉

    My favorite berries are raspberries. I’d keep the bag for now – we’re undecided if we’ll try for a third!

  7. Debi Boz

    I love Boysenberries/ blackberries.I have several expecting babies on their way this year so not sure who would get it…

    Raspberries are my favorite, though blueberries are a very close second 🙂 I would keep the bag, I still have a little one running around here.

    my favorite berry is strawberry. my friend Marta would get the bag if I win — she is a bag hound and would love it.

    My favorite is the blueberries and this recipe looks like a great way to have them. I can’t wait to try it. I’d be tempted to keep the bag for myself, but I think I’d give it to my sister. Thanks!

    I have to say, we’re a blueberry family. Just got back from a vacation in Michigan and picked blueberries so we could have blueberry pancakes, muffins and blueberries a la mode. YUM. This would be a great great gift for a friend Olivia. Thanks
