I enjoyed making this recipe even though I wasn't sure how to get 8 squares out of either a pie plate or a springform pan! I used frozen blueberries & followed the recipe right on down, & made this very tasty crumble in a pie plate! I often mix berries in desserts like this, but the simple blueberry flavor was extremely satisfying here! Thanks for sharing!
