How About this Dessert for Your Memorial Day BBQ?

by Jillian Leslie on

I’m thinking about Memorial Day and what I’d like for dessert at my barbecue. I saw this Blueberry Crumble with Cornmeal-Almond Topping on Food Network and couldn’t stop salivating.

It looks easy and only takes about an hour.

Ingredients

For the Topping:

  • 7 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened, plus more for the baking dish
  • 1/2 cup cornmeal
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • Pinch of salt
  • 3/4 cup chopped almonds

For the Filling:

  • 4 cups blueberries
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Butter a 2-quart shallow baking dish  or eight 6-ounce ramekins (if you are using ramekins, double the filling).
  2. Make the topping: Whisk the cornmeal, flour, brown sugar and salt in a bowl. Stir in the almonds. Work in the butter with your fingers until evenly moistened.
  3. Make the filling: Toss the blueberries, granulated sugar, flour and lemon juice in a bowl.
  4. Transfer the filling to the prepared dish or ramekins and dot with 2 tablespoons butter. Squeeze handfuls of the crumble mixture and scatter on top of the fruit. Bake until golden and bubbly, 40 to 45 minutes.
  5. Let sit 10 minutes before serving. Top with whipped cream or ice cream, if desired. (Oh, I desire!)
