Recipe #114: Berry Crumble

We had a berry crumble with our lunch at Cafe Amelie on Saturday.  It was so good that I had to try to make my own yesterday.  I followed the recipe below but added sliced almonds and used a souffle dish instead of ramekins.  I had to add an extra 10 minutes to the cook time, but it was delicious.  I used blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, and Louisiana strawberries for the mixed berries part of the recipe.  We also had a little vanilla ice cream on top.
