In another bowl, prepare the crumble topping by whisking together flour, sugar, cinnamon, and salt
Cut in the softened butter using a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the blackberry mixture in the baking dish.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling around the edges.
Allow the blackberry crumble to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. This will allow the filling to cool slightly and thicken.
Serve warm, and optionally, top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or creme anglaise for an extra indulgent treat.
