Berry Crumble

Berries are in season and here’s one easy way of using a bunch of them up.  You can add any fruit or berries that you like to this crumble.  Also, if you want a lot of crisp buttery topping then double the quantity of the topping mixture and bake it in a larger dish.
This is what the texture of the crumble should look like once it’s been mixed together.
Gorgeous berry filling.
