Blueberry Crumble Dessert

Submitted by The Big Cheese

"When I was a teenager I substituted blueberries for apples one day in one of my mom's recipes because my younger brother was begging for something sweet...and we had no apples. This is his favorite dessert!"

i make this alllll the time, the recipe is so good! i usually mix blueberries and apples, it’s a great combo and blueberries can be quite expensive :s i usually make more of the topping and put in more oats and a tad more salt than it says in the recipe, just love oats. anyway, it’s a hit every time, whether i pair it with whipped cream, ice cream, custard, or eat it alone. everyone loves it! btw, for my metric peeps: 2 tbsp lemon juice, 100g sugar, 2 tsp cornstarch - 75g oats, 64g flour, 100g sugar, dash salt, 75g butter thank you so much for this recipe! :)

Made this and really liked it, we added a touch of nutmeg, that really brought out the flavor of the blueberries. Thank you.

It was delicious! I made my oatmeal cookie crust recipe and formed sides. I added 2 cups blueberries and 2 cups mullberries! It was soooo good! Soon I'm going to do the same thing only use Rhubarb. :P
