Very Berry Topping Food

MIXED BERRY CRUMBLE (WITH OAT-FREE STREUSEL TOPPING)

Steps:

• Prepare the filling. Mix the berries, sugar, cornflour, and vanilla extract in a large mixing bowl. You can also do this directly in the dish you plan to bake them in (and save up on washing).
• Prepare the streusel topping. Mix the flour, coconut, butter (room temp is best), sugar, and salt. Mix the ingredients until well combined. It's best to use your fingertips to help the butter soften and get mixed with the rest of the dry ingredients - and also create the thick crumb-like consistency of the crumble topping. Add the nuts and mix to combine.
• Combine and bake the berry crumble. Pour the berry mixture into a baking dish (20x30cm/8x12"-inch rectangular or 25cm/10" round tin). Then top it with the buttery mixture.Bake in the oven for about 25 minutes at 180ºC/350ºF (fan-assisted). The crumble is ready when it starts bubbling and the crust is golden. If you want it more golden on top, turn on the grill (broiler) and heat for 2-3 minutes until it's browned further.
