Jumbleberry Crumble is a luscious and easy-to-make dessert featuring a medley of fresh berries coated in a sweet, slightly tart filling and topped with a golden, buttery oat crumble. This warm and comforting fruit dessert is ideal for any occasion and pairs beautifully with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Ingredients
For the berry filling:
- 2 cups strawberries, sliced
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1 cup raspberries
- 1 cup blackberries
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the crumble topping:
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8-inch baking dish to prevent sticking and ensure easy serving.
- Mix the berries: In a large bowl, combine the strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries.
- Add filling ingredients: To the berries, add the granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Toss gently so all berries are evenly coated without crushing them.
- Transfer to dish: Pour the prepared berry mixture into the greased baking dish, spreading it evenly.
- Prepare crumble topping: In a separate bowl, mix together the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
- Add butter: Pour the melted unsalted butter into the dry ingredients and stir until the mixture becomes crumbly and holds together loosely.
- Top the berries: Evenly sprinkle the crumble topping over the berry mixture in the baking dish, covering the berries entirely.
- Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 35–40 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the berry filling is bubbling around the edges.
- Cool slightly and serve: Allow the crumble to cool for about 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for the ultimate treat.
Notes
- Use fresh or frozen mixed berries; no need to thaw frozen berries beforehand.
- Adjust sugar amounts based on your berries’ natural sweetness to suit your taste.
- For extra texture and flavor, add chopped almonds or pecans to the crumble topping.
- Store any leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- Reheat in the oven before serving to refresh and crisp up the crumble topping.
