Ingredients

For the Fruit Filling:

3 cups fresh or frozen peaches, sliced (about 4–5 medium peaches)
2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
¼ cup granulated sugar (or coconut sugar)
2 tablespoons cornstarch (or arrowroot powder)
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (optional)
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch of salt

For the Crumble Topping:

¾ cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour)
¾ cup old‑fashioned oats (or gluten-free oats)
½ cup brown sugar (light or dark)
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch of salt
½ cup cold unsalted butter, cubed (or cold coconut oil for vegan option)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190 °C) and set a rack in the middle position.
Prepare the Fruit Filling
In a large bowl, gently toss the sliced peaches and blueberries with the sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, lemon juice, and salt. The cornstarch thickens the juices as the fruit cooks, preventing a runny dessert.
Transfer to Baking Dish
Pour the fruit mixture into a 9×9-inch (or similar) baking dish, spreading it into an even layer so every serving gets a juicy bite.
Make the Crumble Topping
In another bowl, mix the flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Add the cubed butter (or coconut oil) and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to combine until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea‑sized pieces. This ensures a crisp, textured topping.
Top the Fruit
Evenly sprinkle the crumble mixture over the fruit layer, gently patting it down so it adheres in places.
Bake Until Golden and Bubbling
Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit filling is bubbling around the edges. If the top seems too brown before the fruit is ready, loosely cover with foil for the final minutes.
Cool Slightly and Serve
Let the crumble rest for at least 10 minutes—it helps the juices thicken slightly and makes serving easier. Serve warm with ice cream, whipped cream, or a spoonful of yogurt.

Tips & Variations

Use frozen fruit in winter – there’s no need to thaw. Increase baking time by 5–7 minutes to compensate.
Make it gluten‑free – use certified gluten‑free flour and oats.
Vegan version – substitute butter for firm coconut oil or vegan butter.
Add texture & flavor – stir ¼ cup chopped almonds or pecans into the topping.
Swap fruits – try raspberries with blueberries or cherries with peaches for variation.
Spice it up – add a pinch of nutmeg or ginger to the crumble mix.
Less sugar – reduce sugar by up to half if your fruit is extra sweet.
Make-ahead tip – assemble in baking dish and refrigerate up to 6 hours before baking (keep uncovered or tented in fridge).
