Munchie Monday: Blueberry Crumble

We were going to share Christmas dinner with the full time senior missionaries with everyone bringing something.  We brought spinach balls, cashew queso, and this Blueberry Crumble.

Blueberry Crumble
4 cups fresh blueberries or 16 ounces frozen blueberries
2 Tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons corn starch

Topping
3/4 cup quick cooking flaked oatmeal
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup flour
Pinch of salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/3 cup butter

In a good-sized bowl place the blueberries and lemon juice and toss them well.  In a small bowl mix together 1/2 cup brown sugar and cornstarch.  Sprinkle over the berries and mix well.  Place in a greased 8 by 8 glass pan.

In a large bowl mix the oatmeal, 1/2 cup flour and brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt.  Cut in the butter.

Sprinkle over the berries.

Bake in the preheated 350 degrees F. until the topping is slightly brown and the blueberries are bubbling.  This should take about 40 minutes...maybe more.

When I made it, I doubled the recipe in a 9 by 13 pan.  And did a really dumb thing. The recipe calls for fresh or frozen blueberries.  When it says frozen blueberries, it does not mean to COOK the frozen blueberries.  YOU SHOULD LET THE BLUEBERRIES THAW BEFORE STARTING!!  Duh!!!  Because I used frozen berries, it took more than an hour to cook well.  It did cook finally though.

This picture shows the blueberry crumble before placing in the oven.  The cooked crumble did not last very long...and I forgot to take a picture of the leftovers....It really was tasty.
