Apple Blueberry Crumble Recipe
Whether it’s this blueberry and apple crumble or my quick stewed apple crumble, making dessert couldn’t be easier.
Got extra blueberries? Adding blueberries to the classic apple crumble brings a burst of color and flavor, turning it into a rich, heartwarming dessert.
The filling for this crumble is simple with no pre-cooking required, just mix and bake!
What are the best apples to use?
Choose apples that offer a good balance of sweet and tart flavors while maintaining their shape during baking for the best crumble. Popular options include Granny Smith, Pink Lady, Honeycrisp, Fuji, and Golden Delicious.
For this recipe, I used Gala apples, which worked well to create a flavorful and satisfying crumble. Feel free to experiment with your favorite apples or even a combination to find the perfect flavor balance!
Can I use frozen blueberries?
Yes! Frozen blueberries work wonderfully in this apple crumble recipe, and you don’t need to thaw them beforehand. Simply add them straight from the freezer. The frozen blueberries will release their juices as they bake, blending perfectly with the apples to create a deliciously juicy filling.
Can I make this apple crumble ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can easily make and assemble the stewed apple crumble in advance. Once assembled, cover it tightly with cling film and a layer of foil, then refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking. Just follow the recipe instructions for baking when you’re ready, and you’ll have a freshly baked crumble with minimal effort.
How to store blueberry apple crumble
Store: Once the crumble has cooled, either leave it in its pie dish or transfer it to an airtight container. When stored in its pie dish, cover with plastic wrap or foil. Refrigerate for 2-3 days.
Freezer: Transfer the cooled crumble to a freezer-safe, airtight container. Label with the date and store in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Thawing & Reheating: Thaw frozen crumble overnight in the fridge or at room temperature for several hours. Reheat in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes, or microwave on medium for 2-3 minutes, or in an air fryer at 400ºF (200ºC) for 5-8 minutes.
