very berry crumble

happy holiday weekend :)

with all the sunshine, beachy cocktails and fresh berries coming out of my kitchen,

you would think it was already mid-august. i love my life :)

i'm loving an easy dessert right now...

one with fresh ingredients that you can just throw in a pan

and then grab it and head to a party 30-45 minutes later.

recently, my top faves have been...

1. strawberry shortcake

2. rhubarb apple cobbler

3. this very berry crumble :)

as seen in my father's daughter,

you can actually use 4 cups of any fruit you'd like

you can even mix it up.

how's that for easy breezy?

ingredients

4 cups fruit - any type

(i used blueberries and sliced strawberries)

1/4 cup & 1 tablespoon whole grain spelt flour

1 cup rolled oats

1/4 cup brown sugar, packed

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

4 tablespoon unsalted butter, at room temp.

directions

1. preheat oven to 350 degrees

2. toss your fruit with the 1 tablespoon of spelt flour in a 9" pie plate. 

3. combine the rest of the ingredients in a bow and mix with your hands

until it comes together in pea-sized crumbles. 

4. sprinkle the topping evenly over the fruit and bake for 40-45 minutes,

or until the top has browned and the fruit juices are bubbling up around the edges.

5. take to a summer BBQ :)

serve warm with vanilla bean ice cream
