Lemon Blueberry Crumble

I saw it firsthand, grab one while you can. No joke.

In other words, you can’t eat just one, and neither can anyone else.

You’ve been warned.

Making Lemon Blueberry Crumble

The Crust

First, combine the ingredients for the crust, which will be crumbly.

After that, measure out about 3/4 cup of the crust; this will become your crumble on top.

Then, press the remaining crust into an 8 x 8″ baking pan. Make sure you spray some non-stick spray, or line with parchment paper.

The Blueberry Layer

In a medium bowl, combine the fresh (washed and dried) blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and lemon zest.

Gently stir together, then set aside.

The Sour Cream Layer

In a small/medium bowl, mix the sour cream, sugar, flour, egg, and vanilla extract.

Once smooth and creamy, pour over the crust. Yes, half way there.

Next, spoon the blueberry mixture evenly over the sour cream layer.

Then, spoon the reserved crumble over the top of the blueberries.

You can spread it evenly for a uniform look, or clump it together for a more rustic, homemade look.

Baking the Lemon Blueberry Crumble

The oven should be preheated to 375°.

Place the dish in the center of the oven and bake for 26 – 30 minutes, or until the top crumble turns a lovely golden brown.

Then, remove to a wire rack to cool completely.

To sum up, this dessert can be stored in the refrigerator covered for 3 – 5 days.

Moreover, I hope you love it.
