Berry Crumble is a delicious, easy to make desert recipe with sweet, syrupy berries and a golden crumb topping.

Berry crumble might seem like the perfect dessert to make in the summer months when berries are plentiful and cheap. You can certainly do that. And I recommend checking out Costco for the most affordable berries. But it’s also a recipe you can make all year long and use frozen berries. Any combination of berries will do for this recipe.

This recipe comes from The Best Cast Iron Baking Book by Roxanne Wyss and Kathy Moore. In the book, you’ll find recipes for breads, cobblers, pies, cakes, biscuits and more. The book explains why cast iron baking is so beneficial: it gives the food more flavor, reaches higher temperatures and is naturally nonstick. There are more than 80 recipes in the book, and most of the recipes have photos. This is a handy cookbook to have on your cookbook shelf if you have a cast iron pan in the house!

Here are a few recipes in the book that I most definitely want to make:

• No-Knead Rosemary Bread
• One Hour Skillet Focaccia
• Craft Beer Bread
• Giant Skillet Cinnamon Roll
• Lemon-Glazed Blueberry Coffee Cake
• Lemon Skillet Scones
• Dark Chocolate S’Mores Pie
• Crackle Caramel Brownies
• Old Fashioned Gingerbread with Cinnamon Cream

Ingredients needed:

• unsalted butter
• frozen unsweetened mixed berries
• freshly squeezed lemon juice
• white sugar

• all purpose flour
• dark brown sugar
• ground cinnamon

Ingredients

FRUIT:

• 1 teaspoon unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 5 cups frozen unsweetened mixed berries
• 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
• ⅔ cup granulated white sugar
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch

TOPPING:

• 1 cup all purpose flour
• ⅔ cup packed dark brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ½ cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cubed
• vanilla ice cream, for serving (optional)

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 375°F.

PREPARE THE FRUIT:

• Grease a skillet with butter. Place the berries in the skillet and drizzle with lemon juice. In a small bowl, whisk together the sugar and cornstarch. Sprinkle the mixture over the berries.

PREPARE THE TOPPING:

• In a medium bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt. Using a pastry blender or two knives, cut in the cold butter until pea-sized pieces form. Using your fingertips, mash the mixture together to form large clumps. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the berries.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 60 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
• Remove the skillet from the oven and place on a wire rack. Let cool for 15 minutes. Spoon the crumble into individual serving bowls and top with vanilla ice cream.
