This smoked blueberry crumble combines sweet blueberries, buttery brown sugar crumble topping, and a subtle smoky flavor for a delicious dessert that is always greeted with requests for seconds.

Made in an 8x8 baking dish and cooked on a smoker, this blueberry crumble develops a golden, crisp topping while the blueberries become warm, juicy, and flavorful.

You can also bake the crumble in the oven if you don't have a smoker available.

Equipment Needed

• 8x8 Baking Dish
• Food Processor
• Non-stick Cooking Spray

Filling Ingredients

• Blueberries: 18 ounces
• Flour: ¼ cup
• Granulated sugar: ¼ cup
• Brown sugar: ¼ cup
• Lemon: 1, juice and zest
  

Crumble Topping Ingredients

• Biscotti: 3 pieces
• Flour: ½ cup
• Brown sugar: ½ cup
• Cold butter: 6 tablespoons
• Salt: 1 pinch
  

Instructions

1. Remove the stems from the blueberries, rinse, and drain before adding them to a large non-reactive mixing bowl.

2. Combine the flour, sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest into the bowl and mix thoroughly. If you want to make the filling taste a little sweeter, you can use a 1/2 cup of granulated sugar instead of 1/4 cup each of brown and granulated sugar.

3. Grease the 8x8 baking dish with non-stick cooking spray (you can also use butter, or vegetable shortening), then add the blueberry filling to the dish.

4. Add the biscotti, flour, brown sugar, and a pinch of salt to the food processor and pulse blend to break down the biscotti.

5. Add the 6 tablespoons of butter to the processor and run the pulse blend again to mix the butter into the mix. This can be done by hand, but will be easier using a food processor.

6. Cover the filling with the topping and shake the dish to help evenly coat the blueberries.

7. Smoke/bake uncovered at 400 degrees until the top turns golden brown, approximately 40 minutes. The dish is done when the crumble turns into a rich golden brown color and the blueberry filling is bubbling.

8. Serve while still warm with vanilla ice cream.
