Course Dessert
Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 35 minutes
Total Time 50 minutes
Servings 6

Ingredients

  • 700 g mixed frozen berries defrosted
  • 30 g caster sugar
  • 30 g plain flour
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp lemon juice (optional)

Topping

  • 175 g plain flour
  • 100 g rolled oats
  • 180 g caster sugar
  • 160 g unsalted butter melted
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)
  • pinch salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 180C/170C fan.

  2. In a bowl sprinkle the flour, sugar, vanilla extract (and lemon juice if using) and mix to combine. Tip into a decent sized casserole dish, pyrex or other fairly shallow ovenproof bowl. It should be around 9x9 inches to fit it all in.

  3. Make the topping by combining the flour, oats, sugar, cinnamon and salt, then mix to combine

  4. Melt the butter, then stir that into the dry ingredients mixture.

  5. Dollop the topping mixture on top of the fruit. It’ll be hard to spread out, so you can just leave some spaces or try and spoon smaller amounts to cover it better (I'm rubbish at this bit)

  6. Bake for 35-40 minutes until the topping is golden brown and berries are bubbling around the edges.

  7. Once cooked, leave to stand for around 5 minutes to cool the filling a little.

  8. Serve with vanilla ice cream, cream or even custard

Recipe Notes

Depending on your fruit of choice, you may want to add more sugar. I tend to opt for a smaller amount as the fruits are usually pretty sweet anyway

Don’t panic - mine looked like the topping was sinking into the fruit, but it still crisps up and tastes amazing even if it doesn’t look pretty.

Cover any leftover and store in the fridge, or in a cool place for a couple of days.
