Notes
Dish size: I used an oval baking dish that measured roughly 8 inches by 10 inches. The dish you use should be approximately the same, whether it's a 9x9, or an 7x11, etc. If you plan on using a 9x13, double the recipe.
Blueberries: I used fresh, but if you use frozen make sure to thaw them and drain any excess liquid, and then you're good to continue the recipe as normal!
Butter: I used unsalted, but salted works as well.
Sugar: 1/2 cup (100g) is used in the crumble. This crumble is not overly sweet, as the sweetness comes from the blueberries. If you'd like it to be sweeter, add another 1/4 cup (50g).
