Blueberry Crumble

Nick and I got to visit my parents at my childhood home in St. Louis for one last time last week since they are moving in just 2 days.  It was sad to say goodbye to my home and town where I lived since the age of 2.  We did have a good time visiting my parents and my sister and brother-in-law though.  Despite the stress and need for much packing my mom still managed to make us tons of her awesome food.  For dessert one day she made this blueberry crumble (Gourmet's Best Dessert).  It is a great refreshing dessert for the summer, especially in the humid heat of St. Louis.

INGREDIENTS
1 1/2 pints blueberries, rinsed
3/4 c sugar
juice of 1 lemon
1/4 tsp cinnamon
3/4 c flour
3/4 stick (6 Tbsp) unsalted butter, cut into bits
1/2 tsp salt
vanilla ice cream

DIRECTIONS
Grease 11x8 inch pan and preheat oven to 350 F. Put blueberries in baking dish and sprinkle with 6 Tbsp sugar, lemon juice, and cinnamon.  In a bowl combine flour, butter, remaining 6 Tbsp sugar, and salt and work the mixture to a crumble.  Sprinkle the crumble mixture over the blueberries and bake in the middle of the oven for about 40 minutes.  Serve with ice cream.
