Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Place 4 cups mixed seasonal berries in a 9x9-inch baking dish. Add 1 tbsp lemon juice, 1/2 tsp lemon zest, 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon, and a pinch of kosher salt. Toss to coat evenly.
  2. Step 2: In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup oats, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves, and a pinch of salt. Cut 3 tbsp cold unsalted butter into small cubes and add to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or fork to work the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized butter pieces.
  3. Step 3: Sprinkle the crumble mixture evenly over the berries. Bake for 35-40 minutes until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling around the edges.
  4. Step 4: Let cool for 15 minutes before serving. Serve warm with a dollop of vanilla ice cream for an extra touch of indulgence.
