Instructions
Prepare a standard 12-cup muffin tin by greasing it with butter or cooking spray.
Crust
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar and salt.
With a pastry knife, cut butter into flour mixture.
Combine until it resembles coarse meal.
In a small bowl, whisk together ice water and egg yolk.
Add water mixture to dough and mix with a wooden spoon until it comes together in a ball.
Divide dough in half and form into separate balls.
Wrap each in plastic wrap and gently pat down to form a rectangle or square. (It doesn’t have to be perfect, it just makes it that much easier to roll out.)
Refrigerate dough for at least 20 minutes.
Filling
In a medium bowl, combine sugar, cornstarch, and lemon zest.
Add the blueberries, cherries and lemon zest and toss gently to completely coat. Set aside.
Crumb Topping
In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, oats, cinnamon, flour and salt.
Using a fork, cut in butter until it resembles coarse meal; set aside.
Assembly
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
Remove one package of dough from the refrigerator.
On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough to about 1/4-inch thick.
Using a 4-inch round cookie or biscuit cutter, cut circles in the dough.
Place into a prepared muffin cup, gently molding it to the bottom and sides of the tin.
Gather the scraps of dough, re-roll and re-cut.
Repeat with the second batch of dough.
Place about 1 1/2 - 2 tablespoons of fruit filling into each dough cup.
Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over each of the filled muffin cups.
Bake for 18-20 minutes, when edges are a golden brown.
