CHUNKY BLACKBERRY AND PEANUT BUTTER CRUMBLE
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and place a rack in the center of the oven.
- Place the berries in a 12-inch high-sided skillet or braiser set over medium heat. Stir in 1 tablespoon of the flour, 1/4 cup of the sugar, 1/4 teaspoon of the cinnamon and the lemon juice. Cook until all the juices release, 5 minutes.
- To make the crumble topping, in a medium bowl combine the oats, peanut butter, brown sugar, the remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar and the remaining 3/4 cup flour. Mix with a spoon until combined. Pour the butter into the dry crumble mixture and stir to achieve a crumble consistency. Spoon dollops of the crumble mixture over the berry mixture. Bake until the topping is crisp, 20 minutes. Cool the crumble for 5 minutes, then serve.
PEANUT BUTTER BLACKBERRY BARS
The love child of a juicy summer fruit pie and a classic peanut butter and jelly sandwich, these family-friendly bars are perfect for a backyard picnic or an after-school snack. They're super fast to make with an electric mixer, but you can also make the dough by hand: Just be sure the butter is very soft before you start, and mix with a sturdy wooden spoon or rubber spatula. To make easy work of pressing the dough into the baking dish, use lightly floured hands or the bottom of a flat measuring cup.

BLACKBERRY CRUNCH BARS
Sweet, sugary, buttery goodness in a pan. This recipe is from Marsee Baking Company in Portland, Oregon. When we lived in that area, we used to pick wild blackberries and I could make this delicious dessert at a very low cost. It was heaven. The original recipe called for marionberries, but they are interchangeable in this recipe. I have never tried using frozen berries for this, so I recommend fresh.

Steps:
- For the crust:.
- Preheat oven to 350. Lightly grease a 9x13 glass baking dish.
- Place the butter, sugar, flour, and salt in the bowl of an electric mixer. On low speed with the paddle attachment, mix until the butter is in small pea-sized chunks. (This could also be done by hand with a pastry blender).
- Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. You can set aside the bowl to use for the topping.
- Bake until the surface is dry and the edges are very lightly browned, about 20-22 minutes. Let cool at least 20 minutes before adding filling.
- For the filling:.
- Pop a berry into your mouth. If it's an early-season berry from the store, it might be a little tart. If so, and you want make the filling a bit sweeter, add the extra 2 Tablespoons of sugar to the bowl in the next step.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the 1/2 cup sugar (+ 2 T extra if needed), cornstarch, and salt. Stir in the berries and zest until combined. Set aside.
- For the topping:.
- In the bowl of the electric mixer, place the butter, sugar, cinnamon, salt, flour and vanilla. On low speed with the paddle attachment, mix until the butter is in small pea-sized chunks and the mixture begins to clump together. (This could also be done by hand with a pastry blender).
- To assemble:.
- Spread the filling on the cooled crust. Especially if the berries are large, the filling might not evenly cover the crust. That's OK.
- Spread the topping over the filling. The whole thing will look pretty lumpy. That's OK.
- Bake until the topping has browned lightly and the berry filling is bubbling, about 40 minutes.
- Cool completely on a wire rack before cutting into bars. They are best eaten with a fork because they're a little crumbly.
