Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

  2. Place 6 creme brulee dishes on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper.

  3. In a large bowl, combine the blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Mix well.

  4. Divide the berry mixture evenly among the creme brulee dishes, including any collected juices.

  5. In a separate bowl, combine flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, oats, cinnamon, and salt.

  6. Using an electric mixer with the paddle attachment, add butter to the dry mixture and mix on low speed until crumbly.
