Blackberry crumble has a delicious, sweet taste with a hint of orange to complement the juicy blackberries. 

The crispy crumble topping adds an extra crunch that pairs perfectly with the soft texture of the blackberries beneath it. 

Substitutions And Additions

BERRIES: You can make this easy dessert recipe with other kinds of berries, such as raspberries or blueberries.

FRESH VS FROZEN: If fresh ripe blackberries are available, you can use those instead of frozen blackberries. You can reduce the amount of cornstarch by 1 tablespoon if you use fresh blackberries.

How To Make This Blackberry Crumble Recipe

It is so easy to make fruit crumbles. First, you will make the filling by combining the blackberries and a handful of other ingredients before spreading it in the pan. Next, you will make the crumble topping out of flour, sugar, and butter. Top the fruit and bake until bubbling.

STEP ONE: Preheat the oven to 375°F. Prepare a pan by spraying it with cooking spray. 

STEP TWO: Mix the flour, sugar, and melted butter in a medium mixing bowl. Stir the mixture with a fork until the mixture is crumbly and the size of small peas. Set aside.

STEP THREE: Mix the blackberries, sugar, cornstarch, and orange zest in a separate bowl. Stir until combined. 

STEP FOUR: Pour the blackberry mixture into the prepared baking dish and sprinkle evenly with the crumble mixture.

STEP FIVE: Bake the crumble for 45 minutes in the preheated oven. The crumb topping should be evenly browned on top and bubbly around the edges. You may need to cover the top of the crumble with foil during the last 15 minutes if you find the top is getting too brown.

STEP SIX: Let cool slightly before serving with ice cream.

How To Serve

This easy blackberry crumble recipe is best served warm and makes a delicious treat any time of year since it uses frozen berries.

It’s excellent served with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream, and you will discover that the temperature contrast is amazing with the warm fruit. 

For an added crunch, serve it with melted dark chocolate or chopped nuts. If you want to go all out, top it off with a drizzle of honey for some extra sweetness.
