Saskatoon Berry Crumb Cake
Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cups brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 2/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 5 cups fresh serviceberries
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 3/4 cup white sugar
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 (4 ounce) package cream cheese, diced
Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to its highest temperature setting, which is 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2
Next, take a moment to prepare the baking pan by coating it with a thin layer of oil or cooking spray, making sure to cover the entire surface.
3
To create the crust and topping mixture, combine brown sugar, flour, oats, and cinnamon in a bowl. Using a whisk or spoon, blend the ingredients until they are well combined.
4
Gradually add oil to the mixture while whisking continuously, allowing it to reach a crumbly consistency. Divide the mixture in half and press 1/2 of it into the prepared baking pan, reserving the other half for the topping.
5
Bake the crust in the preheated oven until it feels firm and set, approximately 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before returning it to the oven.
6
To prepare the filling, combine serviceberries and water in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook for 10 minutes, then stir in lemon juice to add flavor.
7
In a separate bowl, whisk together white sugar and flour until well combined. Gradually add this mixture to the berries while stirring continuously, allowing it to thicken slightly, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool for a short time before pouring it over the crust.
8
Add cream cheese pieces evenly across the filling, followed by a gentle spread of the reserved crumb mixture. Using a potato masher or similar utensil, gently press the topping onto the filling.
9
Bake the entire dish in the preheated oven until the crumb topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly, approximately 40 minutes.
