Bumbleberry Crumble
If you’re looking at the title to this recipe and thinking “what the heck is a bumbleberry?” you’re probably not alone. This isn’t some sort of a secret new berry you’re just hearing about. Bumbleberry just refers to a mixed berry pie (or crumble, or crisp), often including rhubarb or sometimes apple. I first had bumbleberry pie at a local restaurant many years ago and ever since then it has held the top spot as my absolute favorite pie flavor. I’ve been wanting to make a Summer dessert using rhubarb, so this Bumbleberry Crumble was the natural choice.
In my eyes, this is the perfect Summer dessert. It combines sweet berries with tart rhubarb and doesn’t use a ton of sweeteners, so the natural flavors of the fruits really shine. It’s covered in a buttery crumb topping that perfectly offsets the tartness of the rhubarb. It’s simple and delicious with little prep time and it’s perfect to bring to a Summer picnic or barbecue or to serve your family at home.

I love rhubarb and my taste buds tell me this Bumbleberry Crumble is the ideal combination of sweet and tart, but if you’re not a fan of the tartness of rhubarb you can replace it with apple and still accurately refer to it as bumbleberry. Or “Bumble Crumble” as I’ve been calling it because it rhymes and makes me happy. Whatever floats your boat. Or bumbles your crumble.

Yummy! This is mouth watering and I can’t help but to make this recipe after I post this comment. 🙂 Thanks for explaining the ‘bumbleberry’ and why is it called by that name. 😀
This looks wonderful!! But I really despise blackberries – do you think substituting blueberries would work as well??
Yup! You could absolutely sub blueberries.
Thank you so much! I will be making this and the pizza logs on Saturday and I can’t wait!! You are marvelous! 🙂

I have some frozen blackberries, and other mixed berries, could I use them? If I do would I need to do anything different? Thanks for the help.
I have made this twice now. EVERYONE loves it! Even the non WW folks. YAY! I give it 5 stars!
It looks so tasty and delish!
Thanks for recipe!
Your blog is very interesting!
It is very delicious, i cooked it last week.
Very nice recipe! I will be making this)
Thanks to the author!
I found this recipe to be a bit tart. With that said, after adding some fat free whipped cream, it was absolutely delightful. One of my favorite pies is a “Very Berry” pie from Roche Bros (a grocery store in MA) and I was hoping that this would cure my craving for it. Though it wasn’t quite the same, I think this recipe hit the spot! 🙂
Thanks for the interesting post))
This isn’t some sort of a secret new berry you’re just hearing about. Bumbleberry just refers to a mixed berry pie
Wow, incredible, I love this very much, it looks delicious, I hope that it’s actually even cooler. I haven’t prepared this yet, I’ve written a recipe and I’ll try it soon. I recommend going to my profile in order to read interesting Pride And Prejudice Essays for dinner and a cup of tea. Develop, say something new, experiment, thanks to the author for the material, respect!)
