Looking for the perfect summer dessert? Look no further than Blueberry Peach Crumble! This recipe is a delicious way to celebrate the flavors of summer, and it’s sure to become a favorite in your household.

A few summers ago, with an abundance of blueberries and some juicy peaches, I stumbled upon Ina Garten’s Peach and Blueberry Crumble recipe on the Food Network. I made a few small tweaks (like reducing the sugar!). I didn’t have ramekins, so I just used a couple of round glass Pyrex dishes I had on hand. It was quite easy to make and came out SO delicious. Talk about a perfect summer treat. Here’s the recipe for you to try!

Summer Dessert: Blueberry Peach Crumble

Recipe adapted from Ina Garten, Barefoot Contessa

Ingredients:

For the Fruit Mixture:

  • 5-7 peaches (I used 5 large peaches)
  • 2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
  • 2 tablespoons fresh squeezed lemon juice
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (1/2 pint) fresh blueberries

For the Crumble Topping:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar, lightly packed
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 stick cold unsalted butter, diced

Directions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F
  2. Prepare the peaches by placing them in boiling water for 30 seconds to 1 minute. This helps the skins peel off easily. Transfer the peaches to a large bowl of cold water to cool. Once cooled, rub off the skins and slice the peaches into thick wedges.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the peach wedges, lemon zest, lemon juice, 1/3 cup granulated sugar, and 1/4 cup flour. Toss well to coat the peaches. Gently fold in the blueberries. Let the fruit mixture sit for 5 minutes to release the juices.
  4. Divide the fruit mixture evenly into ramekins or small baking dishes. I used two 16 oz (2 cup) oven-safe glass Pyrex dishes, but smaller 6 oz ramekins work perfectly for individual servings.
  5. For the crumble topping, combine the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, and diced cold butter pieces in a mixing bowl. Using an electric mixer on low speed, mix until the butter pieces become small balls. Then, use your fingertips to create larger crumbles.
  6. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the fruit mixture in each baking dish.
  7. Place the baking dishes on a large sheet pan to catch any drips, and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and crisp, and the fruit juices are bubbling.
  8. Serve warm or at room temperature. For an extra treat, top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. 🤤

Enjoy this scrumptious Blueberry Peach Crumble – a fantastic way to savor the season’s best flavors!
