Easy Berry Crumble/ Crisp/ Cobbler-Type Thing with Cereal Streusel Topping. Not to worry if your baking dish is so large that the berries would spread out more thinly. There's really not much sugar in the berry mixture at all. For the topping, you start like you're making a regular crisp topping (like for an apple crisp).

Combine flour, salt, baking powder, and sugar in a bowl. Grate in the frozen butter, stopping occasionally to toss the butter into the flour mixture until coated.

The crumble on top is made with basic pantry ingredients (flour, sugar, oats, cinnamon, salt, and butter) and it bakes up all beautiful, golden and crisp.

Easy Berry Crumble/ Crisp/ Cobbler-Type Thing with Cereal Streusel Topping instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, throw in all the streusel topping ingredients, making sure to distribute the salt and cinnamon as evenly as you can across the mixture. Leaving the cereal off to one side, use your fingers in a milking motion to incorporate the butter, brown sugar and flour together until you have pea-sized clumps..
2. Add the cereal in and gently massage to evenly incorporate it throughout the butter/sugar/flour paste. Put in a container and refrigerate for at least 20 to 25 minutes to allow the butter to harden again before baking. If you're going to bake fairly immediately, put the streusel mixture in the freezer for a good 10 to 15 minutes before baking..
3. Preheat the oven to 400F (This usually takes anywhere from 10 to 20 minutes, depending on the oven)..
4. Prepare the berries by gently tossing them in a large bowl with the flour or corn starch and sugar to evenly distribute the flour and sugar and to coat each berry thoroughly..
5. Pour the berry mixture into a baking dish that is at least large enough in surface area to allow you to spread the berries in a roughly 2-inch layer. Then spoon the appropriate amount of water over the top of the fruit mixture. The reason I suggest the water be added after the fruit is mixed with the flour or starch and sugar is to avoid too much clumping..
6. Top the berries with a roughly 2/3-inch layer of streusel topping and bake for roughly 25 minutes, or until the streusel topping is baked through to a dark golden brown. Not to worry if your baking dish is so large that the berries would spread out more thinly. Just gather them toward the center to make a roughly 2-inch thick mound. It's called a crumble. How precise could it be, right? :D.
7. Cool for 10 minutes or so and serve a heaping scoopful with a slightly less heaping scoopful of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream on top. Enjoy! :).
8. P.S. Leftovers go great with your morning yogurt. ;).

This elemental combination tops just about any fruit from rhubarb and strawberry in spring to pears in the fall. In a separate large bowl, combine flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Place the berries in prepared pan. Cut butter into oat mixture using a pastry blender until mixture is moistened and crumbly. Bake until top is golden and fruit is.
