Blackberry Brown Betty With Pecan Crumble Recipes

BERRY CRUMBLE PIE

Steps:

• Make the crust: Pulse the flour, granulated sugar and salt in a food processor to combine. Add the shortening and pulse a few times until coarse crumbs form. Pulse in the butter until just combined with some pea-size pieces remaining. Pulse in the vinegar and 2 tablespoons ice water until the dough starts to come together but is still crumbly, adding up to 2 more tablespoons ice water if needed. Turn out the dough onto a piece of plastic wrap and pat into a disk. Wrap and refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour or overnight.
• Meanwhile, make the topping: Combine the oats, flour, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon and allspice in a medium bowl. Work in the butter with your fingers until clumps form. Refrigerate until ready to assemble the pie.
• Make the filling: Combine the berries, granulated sugar, brown sugar, lemon juice, tapioca, cinnamon, cardamom and salt in a large bowl; toss well.
• Place a baking sheet on the lowest oven rack and preheat to 425 degrees F. Roll out the dough into a 12-inch round on a lightly floured surface; ease into a 9-inch pie plate and crimp the edge. Refrigerate until firm, at least 20 minutes.
• Pour the berry filling into the crust and sprinkle evenly with the crumb topping. Transfer the pie to the hot baking sheet and bake 20 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 375 degrees F and continue baking, rotating the pie halfway through, until the crust and topping are browned and the filling is bubbling, 35 to 40 more minutes. (Tent loosely with foil if the pie is browning too quickly.) Transfer to a rack and let cool completely.

BLACKBERRY CRISP

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Combine oats, brown sugar, and 1/2 cup flour in a bowl. Cut butter into oat mixture using a pastry blender until mixture is moistened and crumbly.
• Spread blackberries into an 8-inch square baking dish and mix in the remaining 1/4 cup flour until berries are coated. Sprinkle crumb topping over berries.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes.

BLACKBERRY, APPLE AND MAPLE BROWN BETTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F Butter a shallow gratin dish or pie dish.
• Combine the brown sugar and spices in a small bowl.
• Put the cake crumbs in a larger mixing bowl with 3 tablespoons of the spice mix. Pour over the melted butter and stir until well combined.
• Slice the apples thinly and combine with the blackberries and the remaining spice mix in another bowl.
• Put half the crumbs into the bottom of the prepared dish and pile the fruit on top. Pour over the maple syrup and sprinkle with the rest of the crumbs.
• Bake, loosely covered with foil, for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 20 minutes, or until the fruit is tender and the top is golden.
• Serve warm with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
