CRUMBLE

FILLING
- In another medium bowl, fold together filling ingredients until coated with tapioca/cornstarch and maple syrup.

- Pour filling into a 9-inch (23 cm) pie pan or 2-quart (2 L) casserole.
BALSAMIC REDUCTION
- Add balsamic vinegar to a small saucepan over medium heat.
- Bring to a gentle simmer, then reduce heat slightly to maintain a simmer.
- Simmer for 5 minutes.
- Remove from heat, add basil, and stir.
- Let sit for 5-10 minutes to infuse flavors.
- Strain out basil.
BAKE
- Remove crumble from refrigerator and break it apart over the filling.
- Place in oven on a sheet pan to catch drips.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes.
- Let sit for at least 20 minutes before serving.
- Serve with balsamic reduction and ice cream.

Notes
- For a richer crumble, use cold butter straight from the refrigerator and cut it into the dry ingredients using a pastry blender or your fingers.
- To prevent a soggy bottom, pre-bake the crust for 10-15 minutes before adding the berry filling.
- Substitute other berries like blueberries or blackberries for some or all of the raspberries and strawberries.
