A delightful twist on the classic cobbler, this rustic blackberry crumble is both easy to prepare and bursting with flavor.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and the perfect texture for your crumble.
In a mixing bowl, combine the blackberries, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir gently to coat the berries evenly.
Be gentle while mixing to avoid crushing the berries.
Transfer the blackberry mixture into a lightly greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Greasing the dish prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
In another bowl, mix the flour and sugar for the topping. Add the cold butter and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to combine until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Using cold butter helps create a crumbly texture for the topping.
Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the blackberry mixture.
Ensure an even layer for consistent baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the blackberries are bubbling.
Check halfway through baking to ensure even browning.
Allow the crumble to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with your favorite topping.
Serving warm enhances the flavors and pairs well with cold accompaniments like ice cream.
