How to Make Blueberry Peach Crumble

Ingredients

  • 2 cups blueberries
  • 2 1/2 cups peeled and sliced peaches (5-6 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
  • 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)

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a large bowl, combine blueberries, sliced peaches, lemon juice, lemon zest, vanilla extract, granulated sugar, and flour. Gently toss until the fruit is well coated. Let the fruit mixture sit while you prepare the crumble topping.

For the crumble topping: in a large bowl, combine the flour, oatmeal, brown sugar, granulated sugar, salt, and cinnamon. Stir together with a whisk. Mix in the butter with your fingers until the mixture comes together and you have big crumbles.

Place the fruit mixture in a 2-quart ceramic, glass baking dish, or large cast iron skillet. Sprinkle the crumble mixture evenly over the fruit. Place the pan on a large baking sheet and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the tops are browned and crisp and the juices are bubbly. Serve warm or at room temperature. We like to serve our crumble with vanilla ice cream.

How to Serve Blueberry Peach Crumble

Blueberry Peach Crumble is best served warm, allowing the flavors to shine. It pairs wonderfully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. For a twist, you can top it with Greek yogurt for a tangy flavor. Enjoy it as a comforting dessert after a meal or as a sweet treat during the day!

How to Store Blueberry Peach Crumble

To store leftover Blueberry Peach Crumble, allow it to cool completely. Cover it with plastic wrap or transfer it to an airtight container. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days. If you want to enjoy it later, you can freeze it as well. Just make sure it’s tightly wrapped to prevent freezer burn. To reheat, simply place it in the oven at 350 degrees F until warmed through.

Tips to Make Blueberry Peach Crumble

For the best results, use ripe, fresh fruits for maximum flavor. If you don’t have fresh fruit, frozen blueberries and peaches can also work, though they may release more juice. Adjust the sugar based on the sweetness of the fruits you are using. If you like an extra crunchy topping, consider adding nuts like almonds or pecans to the crumble mixture.

Variation

You can customize Blueberry Peach Crumble by adding other fruits like raspberries or apples to the mix. Consider adding spices like nutmeg or ginger for a different flavor profile. For a gluten-free option, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
