• 3/4 cup old-fashioned oats
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

• 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Prepare the Baking Dish

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch baking dish. This prevents sticking and makes serving much easier after baking.

2. Make the Blueberry Filling

Place blueberries in a large bowl. Add sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Stir gently until the berries are coated evenly and everything is well combined.

3. Transfer the Filling

Pour the blueberry mixture into the prepared baking dish. Spread it evenly with a spoon. This helps the berries cook at the same rate.

4. Mix the Dry Topping Ingredients

In another bowl, combine flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Stir everything together until the ingredients are evenly mixed throughout.

5. Add the Butter

Add the cold butter cubes to the dry mixture. Use a fork or pastry cutter. Mix until you see small crumbs forming throughout the mixture.

6. Cover the Blueberries

Sprinkle the crumble mixture evenly over the blueberry filling. Make sure the berries are covered well for the perfect balance of fruit and topping.

7. Bake the Dessert

Place the dish into the preheated oven. Bake for about 40 minutes. The topping should turn golden brown and the filling should bubble.

8. Let It Cool

Remove the dessert from the oven carefully. Let it cool for at least 15 minutes. This helps the filling thicken before serving.

9. Serve and Enjoy

Serve warm on its own or with vanilla ice cream. The warm blueberries and crunchy topping create a delicious combination everyone loves.
