- 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)
- 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.
