Steps
Preheat oven to 375°F with a rack placed in the center of the oven.
Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Cut the butter into the flour until it looks like coarse crumbs using a pastry cutter, two forks, or your fingers. Mix in the vanilla, egg, and vinegar and stir together until the dough comes together and the flour is fully incorporated.
Place half of the dough into a 2-quart baking dish or deep-dish pie pan. Scatter it evenly to cover the bottom of the pan and press it down to make an even layer.
Combine the blackberries, sugar and cornstarch in a bowl, and toss to mix. Stir in the lemon juice and lemon zest. Place the blackberry mixture in the baking dish and spread evenly.
Spread the remaining topping evenly over the fruit, using your fingers to clump some of the dough. Bake until the top is light brown and crisp, about 40-45 minutes.
Remove the crumble from the oven and cool on a wire rack for about 30 minutes. Serve warm with ice cream.

Roy Webster on 2026-08-30 (3 stars): This is a recipe for blackberry cobbler, not blackberry crumble. A crumble topping consists primarily of old fashioned oatmeal, with only a small amount of flour.
Melissq on 2024-07-28 (5 stars): Loved it! I hate making pie, but love a pie more than a cobbler - this was more of a pie but easier and so tasty!! I used my food processor to make the dough which also made it so easy. I did not use the lemon as I’ve learned from past recipes that I don’t prefer that flavor in my berries. I may never roll a pie crust again!!!
Christine on 2024-07-06 (5 stars): SO delicious! This was my first time making a fruit crumble instead of a crisp! The crust was so flavorful and complements the blackberry middle layer so well! We're on year 3 of growing a couple blackberry bushes and they're really coming in now! My kids and I picked the berries and then made your recipe! Our whole family loved it, thank you! Your recipe is def a keeper!
Reba on 2024-06-30 (5 stars): Thank you, thank you!! My husband and I both agreed that the dough was spot on, it had a delicious fresh flavor, and it wasn’t overly sweet. This is now my go-to!!
Michelle on 2024-06-29 (5 stars): This is the best crumble recipient I have found ! I used my food processor for the dough ! So easy ! Thank you!
Marissa on 2024-01-20 (5 stars): Absolutely outstanding. Made it in a 10 inch cast iron pan and served with vanilla bean ice cream - it turned out perfect. We had company over for dinner and it was an absolute hit for dessert. Everyone raved over it and even went back for seconds! Perfect for a dinner of 4! :) SO YUMMY!!!! This will be our staple blackberry dessert recipe in our house from now on!
