What is blueberry crumble?

Blueberry crumble is a baked fruit dessert made with blueberries tossed in sugar and cornstarch, then covered with a crumbly streusel topping. It has no bottom crust, so it’s quicker to make than pie.

What’s the difference between a crumble, a crisp, and a cobbler?

They’re all baked fruit desserts with different toppings. A crumble has a streusel topping of flour, sugar, and butter. A crisp usually adds oats to that topping. A cobbler is topped with biscuit dough or batter.

Does this blueberry crumble have oats?

No. The streusel is made with brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, vanilla, and cold butter, with no oats.

Can I use other berries in this crumble?

Yes. Other berries like raspberries and blackberries can be used in place of the blueberries. For stone fruit, try our Peach Crumble .

Can I use frozen blueberries?

Yes. Thaw them before you start.

What should I serve with blueberry crumble?

Serve it with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream, but it’s just as good on its own.

Preheat oven to 350°F.
Wash the blueberries and place them in a mixing bowl. Add the sugar and cornstarch and stir to combine.
Pour the blueberry mixture into an 8-inch deep pie dish or similar oven-safe baking dish.
In a separate bowl, combine the brown sugar, flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and vanilla. Add the butter pieces.
Using your hands or a large fork, work the butter into the dry ingredients, breaking it up as you go, until the mixture is crumbly.
Spread the crumble topping evenly over the blueberries.
Bake in oven for 25 to 30 minutes, until blueberries are bubbling and the topping is browned.
Let the crumble rest for 10 minutes before serving so the filling can set.
Serve with whipped cream, if desired.

Swap the berries: other berries like raspberries and blackberries can be used in place of the blueberries.
Frozen blueberries: thaw them before using.
Let it rest: give it 10 minutes after baking so the filling can set.
