Ingredients:
For the Crust and Crumble:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour

- 1/4 cup rolled oats (optional for texture)
For the Filling:

Instructions:
- Prepare the Crust and Crumble Mixture:

- Spread the blackberry mixture evenly over the crust.
- Sprinkle the reserved crumble mixture and oats (if using) over the blackberry layer.
- Cook in the Air Fryer:
- Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
- Place the pan in the air fryer basket and cook for 12–15 minutes, or until the topping is golden and the filling is bubbling.
- Cool and Slice:
- Allow the bars to cool completely before slicing into squares.
- Serve:
- Garnish with powdered sugar or serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Notes:
- Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
- Variations: Substitute blackberries with raspberries, blueberries, or a mix of berries.
- Tip: Line the pan with parchment paper for easy removal of the bars.
