For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the crumb mixture. If using frozen blackberries, thaw them slightly and drain any excess liquid before adding them to the crumble. Feel free to experiment with other fruits, such as peaches, plums, or raspberries. The crumble can be assembled ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before baking. Add 10 minutes to baking time if baking from cold.
