Ingredients

Fruit Filling

• 4 cups fresh sliced peaches
• 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
• 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1/2 cup coconut sugar
• 1/4 cup white whole wheat flour

Crumble Topping

• 3/4 cup white whole wheat flour
• 3/4 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1/2 cup coconut sugar (or brown sugar)
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup chopped pecans
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup cold butter, cubed

To Serve

• Vanilla ice cream, optional

Directions

1. Heat oven to 350°F. In a large bowl, combine peaches, blueberries, lemon zest, lemon juice, coconut sugar, and 1/4 cup flour until fruit is evenly coated. Spread in an 8-inch square baking pan (or 9-inch round pie plate).
2. For the crumble: In another bowl, mix 3/4 cup flour, oats, coconut sugar, cinnamon, salt, pecans, and vanilla. Cut in cold butter with a pastry cutter or two forks until pea-sized clumps form.
3. Scatter the crumble evenly over the fruit. Bake 35-40 minutes until the topping is golden and the filling is bubbling at the edges.
4. Cool on a wire rack about 15 minutes so the juices thicken slightly. Serve warm, topped with vanilla ice cream if desired.

Tips

• Keep butter cold for a crisp, chunky topping; if it softens, chill the bowl briefly before baking.
• Taste the fruit—add a pinch more sugar if the peaches are very tart, or extra lemon if very sweet.
• For cleaner slices, let the crisp cool longer; for a juicier scoop, serve after a short rest.

Optional Additions

• Swap pecans for almonds or walnuts, or add a pinch of nutmeg to the crumble.
• Add a splash of bourbon or vanilla to the fruit for extra warmth.
• Serve with lightly sweetened yogurt instead of ice cream for tangy balance.
