Ingredients
- 32 oz Mixed frozen berries
- 1 lemon juice and lemon zest
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp of cinnamon
- 2 tbsp of water
- cornstarch slurry
For the topping
- 1 cup All purpose flour
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 tsp of salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
- 2 tbsp milk

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

- Pour the berry compote into an oven-safe baking dish, then evenly sprinkle the crumble topping over the berries.
