Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, combine the sliced nectarines, sliced apricots, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Toss to coat the fruits evenly. This will enhance the fruit flavor and prevent them from turning brown.
- Transfer the fruit mixture to a baking dish.
- In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, brown sugar, oats, cinnamon, and salt. Mix well.
- Add the cold cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. This creates the perfect crumbly texture.
- Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the fruit mixture in the baking dish. Ensure it's spread evenly for uniform cooking.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the fruit is bubbling and the crumble topping is golden brown. The baking time may vary depending on the juiciness of the fruits and the heat of your oven.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. The filling will be extremely hot right out of the oven and can burn your mouth.
- Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, if desired. It's a perfect pairing that adds a cool, creamy contrast to the warm, fruity crumble.
