Fruity Oatmeal Crumble

I commandeered this recipe from my friend Kim. She bakes fantastic things at completely random times and it's awesome whenever she does. I have done this recipe with tons of different kinds of fruits and jams, but she originally did this recipe using apricot preserves.

Prep time: 5 minutes
Cook time: 25-30 minutes

You will need:
-baking dish
-large bowl
-measuring cups

Ingredients:
-1 1/2 cups flour
-1/2 cup oats
-1 cup brown sugar
-1/2 tsp. baking soda
-3/4 cup butter, softened
-1 cup preserves of your choice (Apricot, Strawberry, Raspberry, Blackberry),

-OR- 

-1 cup berries, chopped, sugared and refrigerated for 30 minutes
(I have used a combo of strawberries, blackberries and blueberries and it was fantastic)

Directions:
-Stir flour, oats, soda and sugar together in a bowl
-cut-in butter until the mixture is crumbly
-use cooking spray or butter to grease the bottom of the baking dish
-add 2/3 of the crumbles in the bottom of the pan and pat it down gently
-add either preserves or berries equally to the top of the crumbs
(if you want to, you can do both! It'll still taste amazing!)
-crumble the last of the mixture on top of the fruity layer, evenly
-bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden-brown
-cool on a raised cooling rack so the bottom cools as well as the top 

Cheers, foodies!
