Berry Crumble



A berry crumble is my go to summer dessert (even in the fall too) because it combines some of the best things around–summer fruits and lots of sugar–plus, it's super simple! 


Gather your assortment of berries. I like to use fresh blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, and strawberries, but some recipes call for cherries or currants; just cater to your liking.


The recipe is quite simple and only uses a few ingredients (and one bowl for easy cleanup!): 

for the crumb topping, combine:
1/2 cup of butter (chopped into small cubes)
1 1/2 cups flour
2/3 cup sugar 


for the filling:
add the pound of fresh berries to your dish


 then cover all the berries with 3/4 cup sugar 


then add crumb topping to this, covering everything evenly. bake at 425ยบ for 30-35 minutes, until you have a crisp & crumbly looking top


my favorite part about this recipe is knowing how good this is leftover, either warmed up with some vanilla bean ice cream, or cold and on its own. 

Enjoy!

ciao!

Welcome to my new space for sharing fashion, photography, art, food, and travel. Aside from my family & friends, these five categories inspire me in the smallest ways, which is why I cannot stop taking photos of them! I'm from San Francisco but currently live in Chicago, two cities that never cease to amaze me, especially when it comes to fashion & food, so street style is one of my favorite things to photograph. Here are some snaps that serve as a preview for what is to come on Quite Frankly. If you like what you see, please follow, bookmark, or share with others and check out my Instagram account @fincerty or if you prefer tumblr, you can follow me as well! http://thaakidfrankie.tumblr.com
