Ingredients:
- 24 ounces (about 2 pints) fresh blueberries
- 2 to 4 tablespoons sugar, see notes
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice or use water
- Pinch fine sea salt
- 3/4 cup (100 grams) all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup (65 grams) old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup (100 grams) sugar, try combining 1/4 cup brown sugar + 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (115 grams) butter, melted (1 stick) or substitute 1/2 cup melted coconut oil
- 1/8 teaspoon fine sea salt
Instruction:
- Heat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Add blueberries, lemon juice, 2 tablespoons of flour, sugar, and pinch of salt to a 9-inch pie dish (or use a 2-quart baking dish). Toss well until combined.
- Combine flour, oats, sugar, and the salt in a medium bowl. Add the melted butter then stir until all the flour has been moistened by the butter and topping is crumbly.
- Sprinkle over blueberry filling. (We like to use our hands to do this. As we sprinkle, we press the crumbles together to create larger clumps of topping.)
- Bake 25 to 35 minutes until juices are thickened and the topping has turned light golden brown. Cool 10 minutes, and then serve.

FAQ
How do you keep crumble topping crunchy?
How do you keep fruit crumble from getting soggy?
Too much butter and your topping will become a greasy blob or disappointingly soggy. Some recipes will ask you to cut in cold butter along with your dry ingredients, resulting in pea-size pieces that are sprinkled across the hot fruit filling.
