How to Make Lemon Blackberry Crisp

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease an 11 x 7 inch baking dish.
  2. Gently toss 4 cups fresh blackberries in the prepared baking dish.
  3. Sprinkle 1/4 cup granulated sugar over the blackberries.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons cornstarch and 2 tablespoons lemon juice. Pour evenly over the blackberries and gently stir to combine.
  5. In a separate bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups vanilla wafer crumbs, 1/2 cup rolled oats, 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar, 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  6. Cut in 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture is crumbly.
  7. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the blackberry mixture.
  8. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Let cool slightly before serving.
  9. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for the ultimate treat!
