Ingredients

Scale

Fruit Filling

2 cups blueberries
2 1/2 cups peeled and sliced 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 and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease an 8×8 inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
Mix Fruit Filling: In a large bowl, gently combine the blueberries, peeled and sliced peaches, lemon juice, lemon zest, vanilla extract, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and 1/4 cup all-purpose flour. Toss the mixture carefully to evenly coat the fruit without bruising.
Arrange Fruit: Pour the prepared fruit mixture into the greased baking dish and spread it evenly to create a uniform base.
Prepare Crumble Topping: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the remaining 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, oats, brown sugar, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, salt, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
Incorporate Butter: Add the cold, diced butter to the dry ingredient mixture. Using a pastry blender or your fingertips, cut the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs, ensuring a crumbly texture.
Top Fruit with Crumble: Evenly sprinkle the crumble topping over the fruit mixture in the baking dish, covering all the fruit.
Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes until the topping turns golden brown and you see the fruit bubbling around the edges.
Cool and Serve: Remove the crumble from the oven and allow it to cool for at least 10 minutes. Serve warm to enjoy the contrast of the bubbly fruit and crisp topping.

Notes

For extra flavor, add a pinch of nutmeg to the crumble topping.
Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a decadent touch.
Use frozen berries and peaches if fresh are not available, adjusting baking time if needed.
The crumble can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated before serving.
