Equipment
Ingredients
TOPPING:
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/4 cup flour
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 3 Tbsp cold unsalted butter cubed
FILLING:
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 1/2 Tbsp arrowroot starch
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 3 cups fresh blueberries
- 1/2 tsp fresh lemon thyme minced
- 1 tsp lemon juice
Instructions
- Grease six 3 1/2-inch cast iron skillets and place on a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet.
- Make crumble topping: Whisk together oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a medium bowl. Cut in butter with a pastry blender or fork until large crumbs form. Keep chilled while preparing filling.
- Make filling: Whisk together sugar, arrowroot starch, and salt in a medium bowl. Add blueberries, lemon thyme, and lemon juice; toss to combine. Divide filling evenly among skillets (about 1/2 cup per skillet) and sprinkle with chilled topping, pressing gently to adhere.
- Chill assembled crumbles for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator, or up to 1 day. Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Bake crumbles for 35 minutes, until filling is bubbling and topping is golden brown. Let cool on a wire rack for 20 minutes before serving with ice cream.
Notes:
- Mini cast iron skillets: I use Lodge mini skillets. You can also double the recipe and bake as a crisp in an 8-inch round cast-iron skillet.
