This Easy Snickerdoodle Fruit Crumble makes good use of your not so snackable fruit and with pre-made cookie dough as the crumble, dessert will be ready in no time at all!!

I made this crumble with fruit that had to be used up ASAP. But this recipe is just as good with frozen berries. Keeping frozen berries in my freezer is a huge pantry hack for me. This way I can make mouth watering easy fruit desserts any time of the year. No need to wait for them to be in season 🙂

Let’s make this Easy Snickerdoodle Fruit Crumble!

Prep:

Preheat your oven to 375* F. Measure the berries, cornstarch, lemon, cinnamon and 1⁄4 cup of sugar into the mixing bowl. Mix thoroughly and taste the fruit. If the fruit is too tart then add the remaining sugar. Let the berries sit for at least 5 minutes.

Cook:

Pour the berries to the pie plate and take pinches of snickerdoodle dough and dot the top of the berries. Transfer the pie plate to the sheet pan and bake the crumble for 45-50 minutes. The berries should be bubbling and the cookies browned.

Eat:

Serve with whipped cream or Ice Cream. I highly suggest taking the ice cream route.. Cherry vanilla or Chocolate. yum ! Enjoy!

FAQ’s

What’s the difference between a crumble, cobbler and crisp?

How do you store and reheat a fruit crumble?

Fruit crumbles can be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days. To reheat, use the oven instead of the microwave.

Frozen fruit is picked at its peak of ripeness and flash frozen soon after to preserve its optimal nutrition (Web MD). Which makes it a perfect pantry item. Buy them on sale and make fruit desserts all year!
