Description
A delicious dessert featuring fresh blackberries topped with a crisp, buttery crumb.
Ingredients
Scale
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 4 to 6 tablespoons cornstarch (see notes)
- ⅓ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- zest from 1 lemon
- 3 pounds fresh blackberries (about 6 cups)
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 10 tablespoons butter (melted)
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 8×8 inch baking dish.
- Combine the sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon and lemon zest in a small dish until all the dry ingredients are blended well. Gently toss the sugar mixture with the berries then place in the baking dish.
- Combine the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and butter. Stir with a fork until it has clumps the size of peas. Sprinkle evenly over the berries.
- Place the dish on a rimmed baking sheet (in case the juices bubble over the edge). Bake for about 55 to 60 minutes until the top is golden brown and the juices are bubbly.
- Let the berries cool slightly and serve with ice cream or sweetened whipped cream.
Notes
- For best results, adjust cornstarch based on the juiciness of the blackberries.
