Filling
- 2 cups blueberries
- 2 1/2 cups peeled and sliced peaches (about 5-6 peaches)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
Crumble Topping
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 6 tablespoons cold butter, diced
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking your crumble.
- Prepare the Fruit Filling: In a large bowl, gently combine the blueberries, sliced peaches, lemon juice, lemon zest, vanilla extract, granulated sugar, and flour. Toss carefully until the fruit is evenly coated with the mixture. Set aside to let the flavors meld while you prepare the crumble topping.
- Make the Crumble Topping: In another large bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, brown sugar, granulated sugar, salt, and ground cinnamon. Incorporate the cold diced butter using your fingers until the mixture comes together and forms sizable crumbs.
- Assemble the Crumble: Transfer the fruit mixture into a 2-quart ceramic, glass baking dish, or large cast iron skillet. Evenly sprinkle the crumble topping over the fruit layer, covering it completely.
- Bake: Place the assembled baking dish on a large baking sheet to catch any drips. Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the crumble topping is golden brown and crisp and the fruit juices are bubbly and thickened.
- Serve: Let the crumble cool slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally paired with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent treat.
Notes
- You can prepare individual servings using ramekins instead of one large dish for personalized portions.
- The crumble topping can be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- Any leftover baked crumble will keep well in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat gently before serving.
