Directions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 8x8 inch baking dish.

In a large bowl, gently combine the mixed berries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Pour the berry mixture into the prepared baking dish.
- 3
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
- 4
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use your fingertips or a pastry blender to cut the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

If the topping seems too dry, add 1 tablespoon of water and mix gently until just combined.
- 6
Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the berry mixture in the baking dish.

Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the berry mixture is bubbling around the edges.

Allow the crumble to cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. It's delicious warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
