Ingredients
Scale
Fruit Filling
- 1-2 ripe peaches, chopped
- 2 plums, pitted and sliced
- 1/2 cup blueberries
- 1/2 cup blackberries
- 1/2 cup raspberries
- A few ripe figs, sliced
- 2 Tbsp cornstarch
- 2 Tbsp sugar
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
Crumble Topping
- 1 cup flour
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/3 cup white sugar
- 1/3 cup rolled oats
- 6 Tbsp unsalted butter, cut in pieces
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the crumble.
- Prepare the fruit filling: In a large bowl, toss together the chopped peaches, sliced plums, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, and figs. Add the cornstarch, sugar, and lemon juice and mix until the fruit is evenly coated. Let this mixture sit for 30 minutes so the fruit juices begin to release.
- Make the crumble topping: While the fruit rests, combine the flour, brown sugar, white sugar, and rolled oats in a food processor or bowl. Pulse or mix in the unsalted butter pieces until the mixture turns crumbly and the butter is well distributed throughout.
- Assemble the crumble: Pour the fruit mixture into an ungreased baking pan. Spread the crumble topping evenly over the fruit. Press gently with your fingers to create larger crumble clusters as desired.
- Bake the crisp: Place the baking pan on a baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 50 minutes. Bake until the topping is golden brown and fruit juices are bubbling throughout the crumble.
- Serve and enjoy: Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before serving for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- This recipe is a fantastic way to use up an assortment of ripe summer fruits you have on hand.
- You can substitute or add other fruits like apples, pears, or berries depending on season and preference.
- Using a food processor to mix the crumble topping saves time but mixing by hand works well too.
- Letting the fruit mixture rest allows the cornstarch to thicken the juices for a perfect crumble consistency.
- Pressing the topping lightly into clusters gives a lovely texture contrast versus a fine crumble.
