ANN'S FRUIT CRUMBLE

Ann's Fruit Crumble image

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 pounds Fruit (berries, typically)
1/2 cup Sugar
2 tablespoons Corn Starch
3 teaspoons Lemon Juice (optional)
1/2 cup Flour
3/4 cup Brown sugar (or mix part brown part white)
1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon
1/4 tablespoon Salt
1/2 cup Oats
6 tablespoons Butter

Steps:

Prepare the fruit by tossing it with the sugar and cornstarch. Add lemon if you choose.
The remaining ingredients are for your crumble. I typically double the crumble so you can load it up. Please note the butter must be cold and cubed to form a good crumble.
You can let this sit for hours. If you put it in the oven when dinner is served it's typically the perfect amount of time between dinner and dessert.
Bake at 350-375 degrees for about 30 minutes. You'll see it starting to bubble and the crumble will melt a little. Let it sit for at least 10 minutes (15 is ideal) so it thickens back up a little and settles.
And of course--it screams for ice-cream.
