Equipment
- 10 inch Cast Iron 9x13 or 7x11 baking dish
- pastry blender
Ingredients
- 3 cups flour
- 1 1/3 cups sugar divided
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup butter softened
- 1 egg
- 1 Tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 4 cups black raspberries
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375º
- In a medium bowl, mix together flour, 1 cup of sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add in butter and egg. Using a pastry blender, combine the ingredients until crumble forms. Depending on how thick you want your crust, press 1/3-1/2 of the crumble into the bottom of a cast iron or another greased baking pan.
- In another medium bowl, stir together berries, cornstarch, vanilla, and the rest of the sugar (1/3 cup). Use the pastry blender to mash the berries to the desired consistency. Add the berry mixture to the top of your crumble crust. Top with another 1/3-1/2 of the crumble. You may have leftovers.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, until the top is golden brown. Cool and cut. Serve with ice cream or by itself for a delicious dessert!
