Cast Iron Skillet Blackberry Crumble is bursting with the bubbly deliciousness of perfectly ripe blackberries and lemon zest, all topped with a buttery, crisp crumble. Less then 10 minutes of preparation never tasted so good!

There is almost no better (or easier!) way to turn one of your favorite summer fruits into a stunning dessert then this simplicity-at-it’s-best Blackberry Crumble. And when you combine berries with lemon? It’s a symphony on your palate!

The cast iron skillet keeps your crumble warm and crisp until you are ready to serve it up with a big ol’ dollop of fresh whipped cream or vanilla bean ice cream. I love the addition of the juice and zest of a lemon for another layer of flavor and brightness. Berries and lemon are just a match made in heaven. And I can’t emphasize how incredibly easy it is!

For the crumble, cut a stick of room temperature butter into flour, sugar, cinnamon, salt, and lemon zest until the mixture looks like course crumbs. You can use a pastry cutter, or the tines of a sturdy fork for this step.

Add the berries to the bottom of a standard 9″ cast iron skillet and them sprinkle them with the crumble mixture

Ingredients

  • 24 ounces blackberries – fresh
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice – fresh squeezed
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Crisp Topping

  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter – room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • In a mixing bowl, stir together the blackberries, lemon juice, lemon zest, sugar, vanilla, and salt.
  • Pour the berry mixture into the bottom of a 9" cast iron skillet.

Crumble Topping

  • Stir together the flour, sugar, salt, lemon zest, and cinnamon in a mixing bowl.
  • Cut the room temp butter into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles course crumbs.
  • Sprinkle evenly over the berries in the cast iron skillet.
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes until the blackberries are bubbling around the edges and the crumble has turned golden.

Notes

A 10″ cast iron skillet will work as well but may require less cooking time.
Frozen blackberries may be substituted for fresh.  Add 5-10 minutes if the berries are still frozen when placed in the oven.  If the berries are thawed, the cook time should remain the same.
A 9×9 square pyrex baking pan or a deep dish pie plate may be substituted for the cast iron skillet.
