Best Ever Berry Crumble Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup white sugar
• 0.75 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon fine salt
• 0.75 cup frozen unsalted butter
• 2 large egg yolks
• 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar, or as needed
• 1 cup blueberries
• 1 cup raspberries
• 1 cup blackberries
• 0.33 cup white sugar
• 2 teaspoons cornstarch
• 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 1 pinch cayenne pepper

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and get all your ingredients ready.
2. Prepare the crumble topping: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Grate the frozen butter into the dry ingredients, tossing frequently to coat the butter evenly.
3. Incorporate egg yolks and vanilla extract using a fork until mostly absorbed. Add 1 teaspoon of vinegar and mix briefly. Finish mixing with your hands, squeezing until clumps form while keeping the mixture mostly dry. Add a touch more vinegar if needed. Set aside the crumble.
4. Prepare the berry filling: In a separate large bowl, combine blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries. Add sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, lemon zest, and a pinch of cayenne pepper. Mix thoroughly until the sugar and cornstarch are mostly dissolved.
5. Place half of the crumble mixture into the bottom of a 2-quart baking dish. Press down firmly using a flat cup. Spread the berry filling evenly over the compacted crumble base. Sprinkle the remaining crumble mixture over the berries, squeezing some into larger clumps.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the berry filling is bubbling. Allow to cool to room temperature before serving (approximately 30 minutes).
