Blueberry Lemon slices with crumble

A warm hello to first 4 followers I have! <3
I hope you enjoy it here and enjoy the recipes I post.

Since last spring I evolved an addiction for blueberries and I'm constantly trying new recipe. Unfortunately blueberries are pretty expensive here in Switzerland so I can't buy them as much as I want. On Saturday I allowed myself to buy some and I made those yummy blueberry lemon slices.

While baking prepare the lemon sirup.
