A quick note from Chomps of Life:
Guess what? My amazing brother has generously bought me the domain name chompsoflife.com! Yee! That means that if you want to get to this blog, you can now omit the .tumblr.com. Much easier, amirite?
Now back to the blog:
Today’s recipe is brought to you by the various times my dad’s gone to the Farmer’s Market, and arrived home with a giant paper bag filled to the rim with blueberries. Although I knew that my family was completely capable of eating all those berries raw, I knew that an even more delicious use of them would be baked, preferably in a pie. I, being an extremely lazy baker, looked for a recipe that could satisfy my appetite, and my couch-potato personality. This blueberry crumble is it! It only requires making one simple dough for the crust and crumble, and an even simpler blueberry mixture for the filling. If you’re a lazy baker, make this today, and if you’re not, make it anyways and realize how wonderful laziness can be.

In a bowl, combine ½ cup of the white sugar with the brown sugar, flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.

Pat half of the dough into a greased 9×13 inch pan.

Sprinkle this mixture on top of the dough, then crumble the remaining dough on top of the blueberry mixture.
