Ingredients

For the Filling

  • 4 cups mixed berries and stone fruit
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • Zest of one lemon
  • Juice of half a lemon
  • 1 tbs chopped basil

For the Topping

  • ½ cup all purpose flour
  • ½ cup old fashioned oats
  • ¼ cup packed brown sugar (light or dark, either is fine)
  • A teensy pinch of salt
  • 4 tablespoon cold, unsalted butter, cut into tiny pieces

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375° Spray three 6 inch cast iron pans or small ramekins with non-stick spray and set aside. Place all the topping ingredients into a medium bowl and, using your fingers, or a pastry blender, cut the butter into the other ingredients until it looks like coarse crumbs with a few larger bits for extra texture. Set aside in the refrigerator until you’re ready to bake.
  • Gather together 4 cups of whatever assortment of fruit you have around in a medium bowl.
  • Add all of the rest of the filling ingredients to the fruit and toss gently with a spatula until all the cornstarch has disappeared. Divide the topping evenly between the baking dishes.
  • Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the top of each dish of berries.
  • Place your baking dishes on a sheet pan lined with foil or parchment paper, to catch any drips. Bake in preheated 375° oven for 30-35 minutes or until the filling is bubbly and the topping is nicely browned and looks crispy. Allow to cool for at least 10 minutes or you’ll melt the inside of your face. Top with ice cream, if that’s your thing (it’s MY thing), and enjoy. Yes, ice cream for breakfast. That's also my thing.
