Sweet, dark blackberries provide the perfect base for this crunchy crumble.
Like most crumbles, this one is at its best when served with a scoop of ice cream. Vanilla, cinnamon, or even a berry flavor. Whipped cream is also good, or consider a dollop of thick Greek yogurt or a drizzle of tart crème fraîche.
Not blackberry season? Know that baked goods such as this crumble work very well with frozen berries.
