I love blueberries. I love tarts. I love blueberry tarts!

Nope, I wouldn't dream of baking a cake or tart without this stuff.

Love my rectangular tart pan.

Simple ingredients.

Whisk-whisk.

Freshly grated nutmeg is about 1000 times better than the pre-ground stuff.

Flavorful flecks of deliciousness.

Mini Blackberry Crumbles

I found a set of 10 individual glass pie plates and thought they were so cute I bought them immediately.  I wasn't sure what to bake in them first, but then I found the most luscious blackberries at the market so I decided on mini crumbles.  Look at how cute they were when I pulled them out of the oven - and everyone loved being served their own mini pie plate.  I can't wait to use them again - maybe mini chicken pot pies next time :).

Printable Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 pound blackberries (fresh or frozen)

• 3 tablespoons granulated sugar

• 1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch

• 1 1/2 teaspoons water

• 1 1/2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

• 3/4 cup quick cooking oats

• 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt

• 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

• 6 tablespoons all purpose flour

• 6 tablespoons light brown sugar

• 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375F.

2. Divide the blackberries evenly into 6 mini pie plates and place on a rimmed sheet pan (I used a 10x15 jelly roll pan).

3. In a small bowl, mix together the sugar, cornstarch, water, and lemon juice; pour evenly over the berries.

4. In a medium bowl, whisk together the oats, salt, cinnamon, flour, and brown sugar until well combined.

5. Use a pastry blender, or two knives, to cut the butter into the oat mixture until it resembles pea-size crumbs; distribute evenly over the berries.

6. Bake on the center rack of a preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes or until the juices are bubbling and the crumb topping is golden brown. Serve with a drizzle of heavy cream, a dollop of whipped cream, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
