Ingredients
Scale
Fruit Filling
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
- 3 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Crumble Topping
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the crumble.
- Combine Fruit: In a large mixing bowl, combine the fresh blueberries and sliced peaches thoroughly.
- Mix Fruit Coating: Add granulated sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, and vanilla extract to the fruit. Stir gently to coat the fruit mixture evenly.
- Prepare Baking Dish: Transfer the coated fruit mixture into a 9×9-inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly across the base.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt until well mixed.
- Incorporate Butter: Add the chilled, cubed butter to the dry mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend until the mixture forms coarse crumbs.
- Assemble Crumble: Evenly sprinkle the crumbly topping over the fruit filling in the baking dish.
- Bake: Place the assembled dish into the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the crumble topping is golden brown and the fruit filling is bubbly.
- Cool Before Serving: Remove the crumble from the oven and allow it to cool for at least 10 minutes to set before serving.
Notes
- Use ripe peaches for the best natural sweetness and flavor.
- Peeling peaches is recommended to avoid tougher skin texture in the crumble.
- Ensure butter is chilled to get a crumbly topping rather than a doughy one.
- Letting the crumble cool slightly helps it to firm up and makes serving easier.
- Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra indulgence.
