Equipment
Ingredients
For the crumble:
- 1 cup of all-purpose flour
- ½ cup of granulated sugar
- ⅓ cup of packed brown sugar
- ¼ teaspoon of salt
- ½ teaspoon of ground cinnamon
- ½ cup of melted vegan butter
Berry Filling:
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- ¼ cup of flour
- ¼ cup of cornstarch
- 40 ounces of frozen blackberries, not thawed
- 1 lemon, juice and zest
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. and grease an 8x8 baking dish.
- In a medium bowl, mix together all the ingredients for the crumble. Use a fork to cut it until it resembles crumbs, and set aside.
- In a large bowl, mix the sugar, flour, cornstarch, and lemon zest for the filling.
- Add the frozen blackberries and mix until the berries are coated with the flour mixture. Add the lemon juice and mix well.
- Add the berry mixture to the prepared baking dish. The berries will be almost spilling out. Try to distribute them as evenly as possible, but with more in the middle as a pile. Press them to pack them as much as possible.
- Evenly sprinkle the crumble topping over the blackberries. You might have to carefully place some of the crumble otherwise it will spill out.
- Place in the preheated oven. Bake for 45 minutes or until the crumble is golden brown. Let stand for 20 minutes to thicken up. Serve warm or cold
Notes
Bake with a sheet pan below in case there is any spilling of the filling. This will prevent any burning on the bottom of your oven.
Delicious served with vegan vanilla ice cream.
- Balance the sweetness: Taste the blackberries and adjust the amount of sugar accordingly. This is more important when using fresh berries, as their tartness can vary.
- For a crunchier topping: Broil the top for a few minutes at the end of the baking time if it isn’t too brown.
- To prevent over-browning: If it starts looking too dark, loosely cover the dish with foil.
- Leave it to rest: This is important to allow the juices to thicken, making it easier to serve.
