Ingredients
Scale
Fruit Filling
- 4 ripe peaches, peeled and sliced
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Crumble Topping
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
Instructions
- Preheat oven and prepare baking sheet. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to catch any drips during baking.
- Combine the fruit ingredients. In a large bowl, mix the sliced peaches, fresh blueberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice thoroughly to ensure the fruit is evenly coated and flavorful.
- Prepare the crumble topping. In a separate bowl, combine rolled oats, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Stir the dry ingredients to blend well.
- Incorporate the butter into topping. Add cold, cubed unsalted butter to the oat mixture. Use a pastry cutter or fork to blend the butter into the mixture until it achieves a coarse crumb-like texture.
- Assemble the crisp. Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish, then pour the fruit mixture evenly into the dish. Evenly sprinkle the oat crumble topping over the fruit layer.
- Bake until golden and bubbly. Place the assembled dish in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping turns golden brown and the fruit filling is bubbling around the edges.
- Serve warm. Remove the crisp from the oven and let it cool slightly. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a delicious finishing touch.
Notes
- For easier peeling, blanch peaches in boiling water for 30 seconds then transfer to ice water before slicing.
- You can substitute frozen blueberries if fresh are not available, just thaw and drain excess liquid first.
- Use cold butter to achieve a crumbly texture in the topping.
- This dessert can be made ahead and reheated in the oven before serving.
- For a nutty twist, add chopped pecans or walnuts to the crumble topping.
- Adjust sweetness by varying granulated and brown sugar according to taste and fruit ripeness.
