Seasonal Crumble


I love crisps, crumbles and cobblers.  Combine that with my love of fresh berries and beautiful fruit picked at their peak and you get the perfect combination.  In this crumble recipe, the fruit is truly the star.  Small amounts of flour, sugar and butter keep this crumble on the healthy side - but believe me, no taste is given up.  This is truly the perfect summer recipe.

4 cups fresh fruit  (I used sliced strawberries, blueberries, raspberries and blackberries, but feel free to use any fruit that is in season)
1/4 cup plus 1 tbsp whole wheat flour
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
pinch fine salt
4 tbsp unsalted butter at room temperature, cut into cubes

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Combine the fruit with 1 tbsp flour and pour into a 9-inch pie pan.  Combine the rest of the ingredients together in a mixing bowl.  Use your hands to form pea-sized crumbs. Sprinkle the topping over the fruit.  Bake for 45 minutes. 

Serve warm with ice cream.
