Servings: 8

Ingredients

  • Unsalted butter (1/2 cup, cold and cubed)
  • Salt (1/4 teaspoon)
  • Cinnamon (1 teaspoon)
  • Brown sugar (1/2 cup, packed)
  • Rolled oats (1 cup)
  • All-purpose flour (1 cup)
  • Granulated sugar (1/4 cup)
  • Blueberries (2 cups, fresh or frozen)
  • Peaches (4 large, peeled, pitted, and sliced)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the sliced peaches, blueberries, and granulated sugar. Toss gently to coat the fruit and set aside to allow the juices to mingle.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
  4. 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 with pea-sized pieces of butter remaining.
  5. Pour the fruit mixture into a greased baking dish (approximately 8x8 inches) and spread it evenly.
  6. Sprinkle the crumble mixture generously over the fruit, ensuring it is evenly distributed to cover the fruit completely.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the fruit is bubbly and the crumble topping is golden brown.
  8. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
  9. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat.
