Ingredients

  1. Unsalted butter, for the baking dish
  2. Filling:
  3. 6 cups blueberries
  4. 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  5. 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  6. 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  7. Pinch kosher salt
  8. Topping:
  9. 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  10. 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  11. 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  12. 1/2 cup almonds or hazelnuts, chopped
  13. 1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest
  14. 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  15. 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  16. 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into 2-inch pieces

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and butter a 2-quart baking dish. 
  2. Make the filling: Toss the blueberries, granulated sugar, flour, lemon juice and salt in a medium bowl. Transfer to the prepared baking dish.
  3. Make the topping: Combine the brown sugar, flour, oats, nuts, lemon zest, cinnamon and salt in a separate bowl. Using your fingers or a pastry blender, work the butter into the flour mixture until coarse crumbs form. Scatter the topping over the blueberry mixture.

Easy recipe and since it’s really only blueberries and the crisp topping, it’s all fruit. The blueberries bake into a syrupy sauce in the pan. Perfect with ice cream and a spoon to get all the berry saucy goodness.

Pecans – when in the South use pecans – and a pinch of nutmeg. Otherwise this is a keeper! With a scoop of Vanilla ice cream it’s even better !
Adam Roberts
I only had 3 cups of blueberries, so I halved the filling recipe and kept the topping recipe as written. We enjoy the crumble topping. We were very happy with the results. I am saving this recipe!
Adam Smith
Yummy! The blueberries shine through, not too sweet. Will make this again.

Delish, easy to make, and everyone loved it. I substituted the four with gluten free and it was fabulous!
Elizabeth Boyer
Loved this! We’re a house of only two and I decided to make half the filling but the full recipe of crumble. I pressed 1/3-1/2 of crumble in the bottom of my pie pan and the rest on top per the recipe. I used Swerve granulated sugar and King Arthur 1:1 gluten free flour. Will make this often.

Easy. Tasty. Halved the berries. Full crumble. Worked nicely.

I used a variety of berries for this recipe and it came out pretty good. I don’t like flour so I was very light handed with it and I think that was a bit of a mistake bc the filling came out runny but the taste was really good. Not too sweet and a little bit of a sour after taste at the end. I also served it with organic vanilla ice cream and got a thumbs up from the family. The crumble on to was really good and mixed well with the ice cream. Over all I liked this one and will use it again.

I have made this recipe MANY times.  Multiple batches to serve 30-40 people.  Always a crowd pleaser.  I substitute pecan for almonds/hazelnuts.  Pairs well with whipped cream, too.

Two Pro-Tips.
(1)  Frozen blueberries actually work best.  Fresh cause it to be too soggy.
(2)  As mentioned by others, increase the quantity of the topping to get full coverage.  I find a double batch of topping is just about perfect.
