After our trip to the Erie Street Market we came home with a gorgeous quart of blackberries from Ackerman Berry Farm. I had originally intended on finding a recipe for a blackberry coffee cake. Instead, I decided to make a super easy blackberry crumble and boy are we happy with that choice! I would make it again in a second and the crumble is so easy that a two year old can do it. The only thing I would do differently next time is to add in a bit of grated lemon rind for a little extra tartness.
Blackberry Crumble
1 quart blackberries
3/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla bean paste
1/2 heaping cup oats
1/2 heaping cup flour
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 stick butter
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Mash slightly the blackberries, add the sugar and vanilla bean paste. Allow to mascerate while prepping the crumble topping.
In the bowl of a food processor (you can also do by hand), add oats, flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Add in 3/4 stick of butter cut into chunks and pulse food processor until small pea size crumbles form.
Butter a shallow baking dish. Add berries to the bottom and top with crumble topping. Add the remaining butter to the top cut into small chunks.
Bake for 35-40 minutes. Topping will appear to still be loose, but it will firm up when cool.

That looks so freaking yummy!
Yum! This looks delish!
What could you use if you don't have vanilla bean paste?
You could just substitute pure vanilla extract!
Where do you buy vanilla bean paste?
Hi Anon, I buy it at Williams-Sonoma. We also have a higher end local grocery store that carries it as well as Amazon. You can always substitute a fresh vanilla bean and scrape out the seeds OR use an equivalent of pure vanilla extract.
Can't wait to try this! Thank you so much :)
