Ingredients

Scale

Fruit Filling

  • 4 ripe but firm fresh peaches, washed, pitted, and sliced
  • 2 cups mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Crumble Topping

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (or almond flour for gluten-free)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats (optional)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed (or coconut oil/vegan butter for dairy-free)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Fruit Filling: Wash, pit, and slice the peaches. In a large bowl, combine the sliced peaches with mixed berries. Toss with lemon juice, sugar, and cinnamon to enhance the natural flavors and balance sweetness with tartness.
  2. Make the Crumble Topping: In a separate bowl, mix flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and rolled oats if using. Cut in the cold, cubed butter using your fingers or a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs, ensuring small chunks of butter remain for a flaky texture.
  3. Assemble the Crumble: Transfer the fruit mixture into a greased baking dish and spread evenly. Generously sprinkle the crumble topping over the fruit, covering all areas to lock in moisture and create a delicious crust.
  4. Bake to Perfection: Place the dish in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) and bake for 35 to 40 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the fruit filling is bubbly and thickened.
  5. Cool and Serve: Let the crumble cool slightly before serving to allow the juices to set and flavors to meld beautifully, making it easier to plate and enjoy.

Notes

  • Use fresh, in-season peaches and berries for the best natural sweetness and flavor.
  • Do not overmix the crumble topping to keep the butter in small chunks for a flakier texture.
  • To prevent soggy filling, toss the fruit with 1 tablespoon of cornstarch or flour before baking.
  • For deeper caramel notes, try mixing brown sugar with white sugar in the topping.
  • Allow the crumble to rest before serving to enhance flavor and texture harmony.
