Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F. In a large mixing bowl, combine 4 cups marionberries, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 tbsp lemon juice, and 3 tbsp cornstarch. Stir gently until the berries are evenly coated and the mixture thickens slightly.
- Step 2: Transfer the berry mixture to a 9-inch square baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
- Step 3: In a separate bowl, mix together 1 cup rolled oats, 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1 tsp ground cinnamon, and 1/4 tsp salt.
- Step 4: Add 6 tbsp cold, diced unsalted butter to the oat mixture. Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, rub the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Step 5: Stir in 1/2 cup chopped Oregon hazelnuts to the topping mixture.
- Step 6: Evenly sprinkle the oat and hazelnut topping over the berry layer.
- Step 7: Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes until the top is golden brown and the berry juices are bubbling around the edges.
- Step 8: Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes before serving to allow the filling to set.
