Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (191°C). Lightly grease a 9- or 10-inch square baking pan, a deep-dish 9-inch pie dish, 10-inch cast iron skillet, or any 2–2.5-quart baking dish. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Add the melted butter and mix with a fork until the topping is completely moistened and clumps together. Do not overmix; you want it to be crumbly. Place the topping in the freezer while you continue.
- In a large bowl, gently stir together all of the filling ingredients. Spread the filling evenly in the prepared baking pan.
- Sprinkle the cold crumble topping evenly over the filling.
- Bake for 40–50 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit juices are bubbling around the edges. Around the 30-minute mark, loosely cover with aluminum foil, to prevent the topping from over-browning. Remove from the oven, place on a cooling rack, and allow to cool for at least 20 minutes. The filling will continue to set as it cools. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream, if desired.
- Cover leftovers and store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
