Mixed Fruit Crumbles

There's something warm and comforting about warm desserts when the weather is so cold.  With so many fruits being available year-round and a wide variety of quality frozen fruits, it's east to whip one up in minutes. I was cleaning our my freezer and I found a bag of frozen blueberries, and I had (almost) a quart of strawberries in the fridge.  I didn't have to think twice!


Here's what you'll need:
2 c blueberries, fresh or frozen
1 quart strawberries, sliced
1/2 c flour
1/2 c oats
1/2 c brown sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
pinch of salt
4 TBSP cold butter
whipped cream, for serving

Preheat oven to 350.
Spray 4 ramekins with cooking spray.

Layer the blueberries and strawberries in the prepared pans.


In a small bowl, combine the flour, oats, sugar, cinnamon and salt.


Use a pastry cutter (or 2 knives) to cut the butter into the flour mixture, until it looks like small peas.


Spoon the mixture over the berries.  Spread to evenly coat.  It may seem like you have too much topping, but as the berries cook, they will let off a lot of liquid.  This crumble will help soak it up.


Bake at 350 for about 45 minutes, until the topping is browned and the juice is bubbling through.


Top with whipped cream (or ice cream) just before serving.  Makes 4 servings.

Enjoy!
