One of my favorite desserts to make during the Summer and Fall are crumble and crisps. They are so easy to assemble and taste amazing!

This recipe for Apple and Blueberry Crumble is one of those desserts that you can quickly put together, bake, and serve. They apples come out nice and tender, and blueberries are so juicy. To balance the delicious filling, I made this buttery and crunchy streusel topping, packed with old-fashioned rolled oats, cinnamon, and butter.

Why you will love this recipe

  • Easy to make. As I mentioned earlier, this recipe is so easy to put together even if you are a beginner baker.
  • Delicious. The balance of sweet and tender filling and crispy buttery topping make this simple recipe taste like a fancy dessert.
  • Customizable. You can easily customize this recipe my adding other berries or fruit, or just double all the ingredients to make a big batch for a family gathering.

Ingredients and Substitution

  • Apples. In this recipe, I used Honeycrisp variety. If you decide to use tart apples, like Granny Smith, you can add an extra tablespoon of light brown sugar. If you are using a sweet variety, like Fuji or Gala, I would suggest to reduce the amount of sugar to balance the sweetness.
  • Blueberries. Any blueberry variety will work in this recipe. Just make sure that the berries are fresh and not too mushy, or they will completely loose the shape while baking.
  • Lemon juice. Fresh lemon juice helps to prevent the apples from browning too quickly and balances the sweetness of the dish.
  • Sugar. For the filling, I like to use a mix of light brown and granulated sugar, which creates a perfect combo of caramelization and flavor.
  • Oats. Old-fashioned rolled oats will work great in this recipe. I would not suggest to use quick oats, as they will get mushy and the crumble will loose the texture.
  • Flour. Regular all-purpose flour will help to thicken up the sauce, so it won’t be too runny.
  • Cinnamon. If you love good cinnamon aroma, feel free to add some more ground cinnamon for even more flavor.
  • Salt. It helps to balance all the flavors.
  • Butter. I prefer to melt the butter before adding to the dry ingredients. It makes it so much easier to mix all the ingredients.

Tips for best results

  • Sweetness. The sweetness of the dessert will depend on what type of apples you use. This recipe is made with Honeycrisp variety, which has a medium sweetness. Please, adjust the amount of sugar accordingly, based on what type of apples you use (sweeter or tarter ones).
  • Filling. To make it easier, you can mix the filling ingredients right in the baking dish. This way, you will have one less bowl to wash!

    While I love it when early crop apples and blueberry season collide, I am thrilled to have this recipe to remember summer by in the depths of winter. Freezing blueberries now so I can enjoy it again!
