Description
A simple, budget-friendly summer dessert featuring a buttery oat topping over a sweet and tart filling of fresh peaches and blueberries.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 cups ripe peaches, peeled and sliced into ½-inch chunks
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup light brown sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup chopped pecans (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Wash peaches and slice into ½-inch chunks (about 6 cups). Peel if desired.
- In a large bowl, combine peach chunks, blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, cinnamon, and vanilla. Toss to coat evenly.
- Pour the fruit mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together flour, brown sugar, and salt.
- Add cold cubed butter to the dry ingredients and use a pastry cutter or fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized butter chunks.
- Stir in oats and pecans (if using).
- Sprinkle the topping evenly over the fruit filling without pressing down.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the fruit filling is bubbling vigorously.
- Cool for at least 20 minutes before serving to allow the filling to set.
Notes
Do not rush the cooling process; the filling needs time to set. If using frozen fruit, do not thaw beforehand to avoid a soupy texture. Ensure butter is cold for a flaky topping. Toast pecans for extra flavor if desired.
