  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, toss the berries with sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch.
  • In another bowl, mix oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Rub in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Notes

Frozen berries work well too — no need to thaw. For a Newfoundland twist, add partridgeberries if you can find them. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
