Next week is a big week for me, and for you my readers! You’ll be seeing a new look for the blog and also the release of the next issue of Foodie Crush!
I’m busy putting the final touches on the magazine so today’s post will be short but sweet. Mmmm, sweet.
And it all starts with the fact that I am on a crumble kick.
It’s always been one of my favorite things to eat, but we called it Apple Crisp. We didn’t have after dinner desserts at home so my love for the crisp/crumble probably stems from elementary school lunches where the lunch ladies served food that never dared touch thanks to the ridged boundaries of the school trays. But that hardly mattered because there was always a dessert served with our flying saucers.
What? You know not of the flying saucer? It was the ultimate gourmet lunch for an 9-year-old: a slice of broiled bologna, a dollop of mashed potatoes with a slice of yellow cheese melted over the top. And it was my FAVORITE. Next to the crumble. Maybe the flying saucer should make a blog appearance some other day.
The thing I love about crumbles is its all of the delicious elements of an oatmeal cookie but it comes out crunchy over a fruity base and is all kinds of wonderful. And like my mom’s fudge, it’s the perfect bite for dessert AND breakfast!
The thing I like best about this recipe is the addition of two things: lemon to the fruit for a little zing and pecans to the crumble so I can con myself into thinking this is a healthy way to start my day. And it’s deceptively easy. Oh so easy.

Aren’t this amazing!
It was really awesome cake.

Crafted in softest double-face sheepskin with a durable and comfortable rubber sole.
Can you use frozen blueberries instead? If so, would you change the recipe – defrost the berries? Bake for longer?
Yummy! Love this apple crisp blueberry crumble. Looks delicious!
i really loved this food
Wow! This great recipe.Crumble fantastic. What’s more, this looks marvelous. That remain solitary shot is dazzling. They all are. Love the new look and can hardly wait to invest some energy working my direction however the late spring issue!Thanks for shearing
Great food recipe. I will try to make this . Beside this, I will try tom make this Jerk Chicken Pasta First. Which is really wonderfull..
Why not you try?
I tried this today and it was great. I did have to add about 1/4 cup more oats to get enough coverage for my fruit. My gala apples were super sweet so I think if you used Granny Smiths you could keep the sugar amount as is or else I would reduce to 1/4 cup white sugar. Will make again, thanks!
Apple Crisp was a staple in my house growing up. Love the addition of blueberries!
That looks so scrumptious and easy to make. I will definitely try it.

fabulous Heidi! Can’t wait to see you again next week! :)
This is gorgeous! I love the addition of pecans to the crumble topping!
I’m that person who takes a serving of crumble topping only. ..oh and ice cream – which should be standard issue with any crumble right? :) Looks amazing but you know how I am about warm fruit.
Ginni–if you come over for the 4th I’ll make you a special non-fruit version with chocolate!
This looks fabulous! Love this variation.
Mmmm…LOVE crumbles. These looks absolutely delicious, especially with those summer blueberries. :)
Can’t wait to see your site’s new look, and the next mag! Whoo!
Fruit crumbles are one of my favorite desserts… I’ve actually been avoiding making one because I know I’ll eat the whole thing! Love the combination of apples and blueberries.
This sounds fabulous! I love a good crumble!
Love the addition of pecans to the topping, anything that makes me think I’m eating a healthy dessert is a-okay in my book. So excited for next week too!!
I love crumble anything! If it’s got a crumble topping, I want to pick it off :)
This looks great and congrats on the next issue of foodiecrush coming out & on the blog changes!
Hi Averie, I’m like you, the crumble barely makes it into the oven without me eating it all first!
