Method
- Heat the oven to 375F with a rack in the middle.
- Toss the berries with the lemon juice, zest, sweetener, half the cinnamon, the xanthan gum and the salt. Leave them to sit while you build the topping.
- Crush the granola clusters coarsely. Put them in a bag and press with the flat of your hand rather than smashing them, because you want gravel and not dust.
- Rub the cold butter into the crushed clusters with your fingertips until the mixture clumps when you squeeze a handful. Stir in the pecans and the remaining cinnamon.
- Spread the berries in a 9 inch baking dish and scatter the topping over in an even layer, leaving a few gaps so steam can escape.
- Bake 25 to 30 minutes, until the fruit bubbles thickly at the edges of the dish and the topping is deep golden.
- If the topping colors before the fruit is bubbling, lay a sheet of foil loosely over the dish and keep going.
- Rest 15 minutes before serving. The juices set as the dish cools, and a crumble served straight from the oven runs across the plate.
Tips
These are technique notes rather than a record of a tested bake, so watch the dish rather than the clock.
Crush the clusters coarsely. Gravel sized pieces stay crisp and give the topping texture, while dust packs down and bakes into one solid sheet.
Frozen berries release more liquid than fresh ones. Add an extra half teaspoon of thickener and expect another five to ten minutes in the oven.
Color on the topping is not the doneness cue. Thick, slow bubbles at the edge of the dish are what tell you the fruit has thickened underneath.
