Ingredients

Scale

Filling:
6 medium peaches, peeled and sliced (5 cups)
3 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
½ cup granulated sugar
3 tbsp cornstarch
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tsp vanilla extract
Crumble Topping:
1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
¾ cup all-purpose flour
¾ cup packed brown sugar
½ tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp salt
½ cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
½ cup chopped pecans (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Butter 9×13 baking dish. Gently toss peaches, strawberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla. Spread evenly in dish.
2. Combine oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Cut in cold butter with pastry blender or fingers until crumbly pea-sized pieces form. Stir in pecans if using.
3. Sprinkle crumble evenly over fruit, squeezing handfuls to create larger clumps. Bake 35-45 minutes until fruit bubbles thickly and topping is deep golden. Rotate halfway through baking.
4. Cool 20 minutes before serving warm. Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

Peel peaches by blanching in boiling water 30 seconds, then ice bath for easy skins.
Cornstarch essential for thick shiny fruit filling; flour makes cloudy sauce.
Cold butter creates flaky crumble texture; softened makes cake-like topping.
Frozen fruit works; don’t thaw before tossing to prevent mush.
Excellent make-ahead; assemble and refrigerate up to 24 hours before baking.
