Peach and Blueberry Pecan Crumble

This is one of my favorite deserts. I love the mix of cold ice cream with hot fruit. The pecans in the crumble add a nice crunch.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup pecans, roughly chopped
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1/4 cup old fashioned oats
  • 1/2  cup packed brown sugar (light or dark, whatever you have on hand)
  • 1 tsp. cinnamon
  • pinch of salt
  • 8 Tbsp. butter (1 stick) cut into small cubes
  • 1 pint fresh blueberries
  • 1 1/2 cups sliced peaches (fresh tastes best, but when they're not in season you can use one regular size can)
  • Juice of 1/2 a lemon
  • 3 Tbsp. sugar (I use Splenda)
  • 2 Tbsp. flour
Directions
[Step 4]
  1. Preheat the oven to 350.
  2. Prepare the berries: combine the blueberries, peaches, 2 Tbsp. flour, sugar, and lemon juice in an oven safe baking dish. Toss everything together until the berries and peaches are coated.
  3. Prepare the topping in a separate bowl. Combine the cup of flour, pecans, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and butter and mix with your fingers. Rub everything together until the mixture sticks together in small clumps.
  4. Scatter the topping over the fruit in an even layer. You may not use all the topping, depending on the size of your baking dish. 
  5. Bake for 45-50 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the berry juices are bubbling. Serve with two scoops of vanilla ice cream.
