Ingredients

Fruit Filling

6 medium apples (peeled and thinly slices)
2 cups fresh blueberries
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Crumble Topping

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup old-fashioned oats
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup cold butter (cubed)
1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray thoroughly.
Combine sliced apples and blueberries with 1/2 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons flour, cinnamon, vanilla, and lemon juice.
Mix flour, oats, brown sugar, and salt in a separate bowl, then cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Spread fruit mixture evenly in prepared baking dish and top with crumble mixture, covering fruit completely with topping.
Bake for 35-40 minutes until topping is golden brown and fruit bubbles around the edges of the baking dish.
Cool for 10 minutes before serving to allow fruit juices to thicken and prevent runny filling when you scoop it.

Notes

Keep butter cold when making crumble topping for the best crispy texture and results.
Taste the fruit first and adjust the sugar based on the natural sweetness of your apples and berries.
Cover with foil if the topping browns too quickly during the last ten minutes of baking.
This crumble tastes amazing with vanilla ice cream or fresh whipped cream on top.
Store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 4 days and reheat individual portions.
You can assemble this dessert the night before and bake when ready to serve guests.
