Directions
- 1
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly butter a 9-inch pie dish or several individual ramekins.
- 2
In a large bowl, gently combine the mixed berries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Pour the berry mixture into the prepared dish(es).
- 3
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt for the streusel topping.
- 4
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry streusel ingredients. Use your fingertips or a pastry blender to cut the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces remaining.
- 5
Evenly sprinkle the streusel topping over the berry mixture in the dish(es).
- 6
Place the dish(es) on a baking sheet (to catch any potential drips) and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the berry filling is bubbly and the streusel topping is golden brown and crisp.

Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving. The crumble is delicious warm, perhaps with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
