Mixed Berry Crumble (for a tasty dessert!)

topping
  1. 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  2. 1 1/4 cups plain granola
  3. 1/2 cup sugar
  4. 1 1/2 sticks (6 ounces) chilled unsalted butter, cut into cubes 

filling

  1. 3/4 cup sugar
  2. finely grated zest of 1 lemon
  3. 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  4. 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
  5. 1 pound blackberries
  6. 3/4 pound blueberries
  7. 3/4 pound raspberries
  8. 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
  1. MAKE THE TOPPING Preheat the oven to 400°. in a food processor, combine the flour with the granola and sugar and pulse until coarsely ground. add the chilled butter and pulse until the mixture resembles fine meal. 

  1. MAKE THE FILLING in a large bowl, toss the sugar with the lemon zest, cinnamon, allspice and nutmeg. add the blackberries, blueberries and raspberries and toss well.

BAKE: carefully spread the berries in a 9-by-13-inch glass baking dish and dot with the butter. spoon the crumble topping over the berries and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until the fruit is bubbling and the topping is browned. let the crumble cool slightly and maybe serve with some yummy vanilla ice cream or whipping cream!


    i halved the recipe for just me and mike and it was GREAT! we loved it! if you want to be a goodie good, try sweetening with steevia or some other alternate sugar substitute (:

     (i forgot to take a final picture of it outside of the oven, SORRY! haha!)

    VIOLA AND HAPPY EATING!
