Berry-Almond-Crumble
Ingredients
Filling:
8 cups mixed fresh berries: blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, strawberries
1 Tbsp quick-cooking tapioca
2 - 3 Tbsp granulated sugar, depending upon sweetness of berries
1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
Crumble Topping:
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup dark brown sugar
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
A pinch of salt
1/2 cup melted butter
1/2 cup finely chopped almonds.
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F. In a large bowl put berries and mix with tapioca, sugar and lemon zest. Set aside.
2. Whisk flour, sugars, spices and salt in large bowl to make topping. Add melted butter and almonds, to form coarse crumbs.
3. Pour the filling into a 9-inch square or round pan (do not grease first). Using your fingers, form topping mixture into 1/4-inch to 1/2-inch crumbs and spread over cake. Bake until filling bubbles and topping is light golden, about 45-55 minutes. Let cool at least half an hour. Serve warm.
