Peach and Blueberry Crumble
This peach and blueberry crumble is a classic summer dessert, featuring juicy, ripe peaches and sweet blueberries topped with a buttery, golden crumble. It's simple to make and perfect for warm-weather gatherings.
Ingredients
- 4 cups Peaches, peeled and sliced
- 1 1/2 cups Blueberries
- 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
- 3/4 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 1/2 cup Brown Sugar
- 1/2 cup Rolled Oats
- 1/2 cup Cold Unsalted Butter, cubed
- 1/2 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
Prepare the Fruit Filling
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large bowl, combine the sliced peaches, blueberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Gently toss to coat.
Make the Crumble Topping
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, oats, and cinnamon. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Assemble and Bake
Pour the fruit filling into a 9-inch baking dish. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the fruit. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is bubbly.
Serve
Let cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
