Valentine’s Day Dessert At Home
February 15th, 2010Orange-Berry Crumble
- 3 cups oats
- 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus 2 Tb
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 1 cup dark brown sugar
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp of cinnamon
- zest of two oranges
- 2 sticks of unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 40 oz of frozen berries
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 400° F. In a large bowl, toss together oats, 1/2 cup flour, pecans (I used pecans that were already covered in cinnamon and sugar from a local orchard), brown sugar, 1/2 of the granulated sugar, cinnamon, and zest of 1 of the oranges. Add butter and gently press with fingers to incorporate into mixture; set aside.
- Place berries (I used 16 oz of raspberries, 16 oz of blackberries and 8 oz of blueberries) in a 12-inch cast iron skillet. Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, zest of second orange, and 2 TB of flour and gently toss. Scatter oat mixture over berries. Transfer to oven and bake until fruit is bubbly and topping is golden about 35-45 minutes.

Music is my life. Everything can be expressed, handled or just felt more deeply with the right chord or phrase. I have been blessed with some amazing friends and am still at that point where my life is an open book. If you’d like, stick around for a bit and help me write a few chapters…
