Blackberry Crumble

BLACKBERRY CRUMBLE

Ingredients:
1 quart blackberries (or your favorite berry)
3/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla bean paste
1/2 heaping cup oats
1/2 heaping cup flour
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 stick butter 

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Mash the blackberries slightly, add the sugar and vanilla bean paste. Allow to macerate while prepping the crumble topping.

In the bowl of a food processor (you can also do by hand), add oats, flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Add in 3/4 stick of butter cut into chunks and pulse food processor until small pea size crumbles form.

Butter a shallow baking dish. Add berries to the bottom and top with crumble topping. Add the remaining butter to the top cut into small chunks.

Bake for 35-40 minutes. Topping will appear to still be loose, but it will firm up when cool. Serve with whipped cream or ice cream if you so choose.
