Ingredients
Scale
For the Crumble:
2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 cup white sugar
3/4 cup butter, chilled
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 large egg yolks
2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
For the Fruit Mixture:
1 cup blueberries
2 cups of other fruit: strawberries, peaches, raspberries, etc.
Zest of 1 lemon
Juice of 1 lemon
1/3 cup white sugar
2 teaspoons cornstarch—add more if fruit is juicy
1 pinch cayenne pepper—don’t skip this; it really adds to the dish!
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Combine flour, baking powder, and sugar in a bowl. Whisk until thoroughly combined.
Dice butter and toss with flour mixture. Mix with hands to make crumbly texture.
Drizzle in vanilla and add egg yolks. Stir with a fork until egg is mostly absorbed.
Add vinegar and use hands to finish mixing, squeezing until it clumps but is mostly dry. You can add a little more vinegar, as needed.
Combine fruit in a separate bowl.
Add lemon zest, lemon juice, sugar, and cornstarch.
Sprinkle in cayenne pepper. Mix until sugar and cornstarch are dissolved.
Place 1/2 of the crumble mixture into the bottom of a 2-quart baking dish. Press down using a flat cup bottom or rubber spatula until crumble crust is well-compacted. Spread the fruit over the crust.
Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 of crumble mixture on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, until the top is browned and berry syrup bubbles up.
