peach&blueberry crumble

i made this yesterday just for fun. it has finally felt like summer here with weather this week in the 80's, so i thought a nice fruit dessert was in order.

recipe
fruit filling
6-8 firm, ripe peaches
2tsp. grated lemon zest
2tbs. squeezed lemon juice
1/2c sugar
1/4c flour
1c (1/2pint) fresh blueberries

crumble topping
1c flour
1/3c sugar
1/4c brown sugar
1/2tsp. kosher salt
1/4tsp. cinnamon
1stick cold, unsalted butter, diced

preheat oven to 350degrees. to peel the peaches skin off easily you can boil the peaches for 30seconds in  boiling water then place them immediately in cold water. peel the peaches and slice them in wedges. add all the filling ingredients, blueberries last. let the mixture sit for 5minutes then pour into pan. for the topping combine all ingredients in an electric mixture until butter is the size of peas. sprinkle evenly over filling and bake for 40-45minutes. serve warm or room temperature.



this recipe comes from barefoot contessa at home (yet again!) her fruit crisps are the best. never made this one before and thought it turned out really well. nice and crunchy on top with a sweet, gooey filling for the bottom. i took the crumble out at 40minutes and served it with homemade whipped cream. contessa made this recipe as separate crumbles, in individual ramekins, but either way works. easy to make and a great summer dessert!
