I’ve been so excited to share this recipe. My absolute favorite dessert, like ever, is a crisp/crumble/cobbler; basically any warm, baked fruit dessert with a crunchy, sweet, and oat topping. Seriously, so good!
It’s so basic and easy, but the results are beyond amazing. All you need are some fresh berries; strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, blueberries. I chose the strawberry raspberry combo because those are my two favorites. The crumble topping is just basic flour, sugar, butter, oats, and some cinnamon.
As it bakes there will be some ‘fruit juice’ that pools in the bottom of the pan, but that, in my opinion, is the best part (well, besides the crumble). The longer you let it sit and cool, the thicker and ‘less juicy’ it becomes. But, this is also really good warm. My favorite way to eat it is to let it sit and cool for about 30 minutes. It’s still warm and crumbly, and the fruit juice gets a bit thicker. And you definitely need some vanilla bean ice cream to top it with!
Forgive all the pictures. I get so excited about this crumble. The colors. The crumble. The melted ice cream on top.
This crumble could easily be doubled if you’re feeding a crowd, or if you just want extra…. you know, for like breakfast the next day 🙂

July 6, 2015 at 7:04 pm I love crumbles, crisps and cobblers. They offer a big payoff in the flavor department with not a lot of work. I have just started following your blog and I must say that I am really enjoying your work. I hope you had luck blueberry picking.Together As Family
July 6, 2015 at 8:01 pm That is so sweet if you, Debbie. Thanks you so much for following :) You're right about the crumbles and stuff; little effort, simple ingredients, and it turns out amazing! Blueberry picking was actually a no-go today. My 3 year old woke up with a runny nose & a fever. In the middle of summer?! Hopefully they are picking another day because my kids are anxious to go. Thanks for visiting and commenting :)Aspen Jay
July 16, 2015 at 10:08 pm Hi Jessica! Oh, I love the crumbly goodness on these types of desserts too. A mixture of strawberry and raspberry sounds delicious! Perhaps I will be using all those strawberries I bought at Costco to make this! Yum! Hope you survived the blueberry picking going solo alright. I have been recently doing a lot of things with the kids solo due to my husband's busy schedule this week. It sure helps me appreciate his help even more! Take Care! AJTogether As Family
July 16, 2015 at 10:48 pm Costco Strawberries are the best! The closest one is 25 minutes away so I don't get there often. Blueberry picking is one thing that they look forward to every year so it was not too bad. It helped that they were so excited to be there.Kate meehan
