- 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

- In a small bowl, combine crumble topping ingredients. Using a pastry blender, mix the butter pieces into the crumble topping until the mixture looks like crumbly sand.1 1/2 cup rolled oats, 1/2 cup flour, 1 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup white sugar, 1 tsp vanilla extract, 1 pinch kosher salt, 2 sticks unsalted butter
- Add the crumble mixture on top of the fruit mixture and bake for 45-50 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling in the corners of the pan.
- Remove from the oven and let the apple blueberry crumble rest for 25-30 minutes before serving with a scoop of ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
Notes
Store leftover crumble in an airtight container in the fridge for 4-5 days. I often just keep the crumble in my baking dish and cover it with a piece of beeswax wrap or another plastic wrap alternative.
To reheat, microwave a serving for approximately 1-2 minutes or bake it at 350 degrees for 4-5 minutes or until fully heated.
- Work with cold butter. If your butter isn't really cold, it will melt into the blueberry apple mixture instead of turning into a delicious crumble topping.
- Get chilly. I actually like to chill my crumble topping before adding it to the pan. This isn't necessary, but it gives me the most perfect, sky-high crumble!
- Add spices & seasonings. You can easily tweak this fruit crumble recipe by adding your favorite spices (cinnamon, allspice, Chinese 5 Spice) or adding aromatic ingredients like lemon juice, lemon zest, lavender extract, etc.
- Add nuts. For extra crunch and flavor, replace 1/4 cup of the oats with chopped almonds or pecans.
