Tips to Make the Best Pioneer Woman Blueberry Crumble Dessert

• Use cold butter: This is the most important tip. Cold butter makes the topping very crispy and light.
• Cornstarch is key: Do not skip the cornstarch. It thickens the juice so it is not watery.
• Add lemon zest: Stir in a little lemon zest. It makes the blueberries taste much more fresh.
• Don’t overbake: Watch the topping closely at the end. It can go from golden to burnt very fast.
• Serve it warm: This dessert is best when it is hot. Add a scoop of cream for a perfect bite.
