Walnut Free Mixed Berry Crumble with Almond Oat Topping

Bubbling fruit filling, golden clusters of oats and almonds, the warm scent of cinnamon drifting through the kitchen — this berry crumble is the kind of dessert that makes everyone crowd around the oven. The topping gets its satisfying crunch from rolled oats, almond flour, and sliced almonds, all bound together with coconut oil and maple syrup into loose, rustic clusters that crisp up beautifully as they bake. Arrowroot starch thickens the berry filling just enough so every spoonful holds together without turning gluey, and a hit of lemon juice keeps the fruit tasting bright and fresh. Many store-bought crumbles and granola-style toppings sneak in walnuts or mixed nut blends, so making this one from scratch gives you full control over exactly what goes in the dish. The recipe works with fresh or frozen berries, which means you can pull it together any time of year without waiting for peak season. Let it rest for a few minutes after it comes out of the oven and the filling thickens into something truly spoonable — though serving it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream is strongly encouraged.
