Berry Filling

  • 3 cups fresh blueberries
  • ½ cup Sugar

Crust and Crumble Topping

  • 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • ¾ cup brown sugar packed

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350ºF. Line a 9 inch square pan with parchment paper.

  4. Press firmly in bottom to form a crust. Spoon filling in an even layer. Sprinkle with remaining topping. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes. Cool before cutting.
