Peach and Blueberry Crumble

I have no idea why it has taken me this long to share this recipe. I’ve been making it for years and everyone always absolutely loves it. The recipe comes from Ina Garten (via Food Network) and it is a summer time must.

I always used to make a blueberry crisp then I noticed and started making this version with peaches and I loved it just as much, if not more. It’s a lot like a peach cobbler with the addition of blueberries. I’ve made this recipe so many times and will hold on to it for life.

If I don’t have a lemon I’ll sometimes use an orange (for both the zest and juice). The ice cream on top is a must in my opinion, possibly because I’m an ice cream addict.

But really how can anyone resist the combo of a warm out of the oven berry crumble topped with an ice cold scoop of ice cream, that will begin to melt over the top all down the sides until it’s soon swimming together with the peach and blueberries giving it that delicious berries and cream flavor we all love.

The boil and peel method for this recipe is a great option for peeling peaches. Sometimes I’ll say I don’t want to wait for the water to boil so I’ll peel them with a vegetable peeler instead of boiling, but really I’m sure that takes just as long as waiting for the water to boil so that method should be history.

I only lightly changed a few things about this recipe from the original, like upping the amount of blueberries, slightly reducing the amount of butter (just because it seemed too wet sometimes, I think the juices of the peaches give it a lot of moisture) and reduced the lemon slightly so it didn’t overpower that delicious peach/blueberry flavor, I also added some vanilla to the crumble. Enjoy and happy summer!

Ingredients

Crumble Topping

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bring a pot of water to a boil. Fill a large mixing bowl with ice water. Carefully drop peaches in boiling water and allow to boil 30 seconds - 1 minute, just until their skin easily peels off.
  • Immediately transfer peaches to cold water. Peel peaches and slice into chunks or wedges.
  • Place diced peaches in a large mixing bowl along with lemon zest, lemon juice, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup flour and pinch of salt.
  • Toss mixture to evenly coat. Fold in blueberries and pour mixture into an 8 by 8-inch baking dish and allow to rest 5 minutes while preparing topping.
  • To prepare the topping:
  • In a food processor, combine 1 cup flour, 1/3 cup granulated sugar, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, butter, and vanilla, and pulse mixture just until it appears moist.
  • Press mixture into crumbles with your fingertips and sprinkle evenly over top of peach mixture.
  • Bake in preheated oven 45 - 50 minutes, until tops are nicely browned. Serve warm with vanilla bean ice cream if desired.

    Super good! Had this tonight. Love all your recipes I’ve tried, you are my top go-to! I did use oat flour instead of white, as I love that oaty flavor.

    There is an extraordinary amount of sugar in this recipe per serving. The cup of flour is effectively sugar as well. Ripe fruit has wonderful sweetness, and then cooking the fruit brings out the sugars and flavors. I’d recommend using an extra cup of berries or peaches and reduce the sugar by a cup. Give it a try and you’ll likely be surprised at how enjoyable this can be.

    (5 Gm sugar per serving should be the goal to prevent health risk, including diabetes.)

      I have to agree. I made this recipe this morning, I found it too sweet. I would reduce the amount of sugar to 1/4 cup

    My fresh peaches are already sliced and in the freezer. Can I use frozen peaches for this recipe?

  • Kerri

    Jaclyn, I’ve been following Cooking Classy quietly for a while now. :) I made this for my family and I cannot tell you how many compliments I received! It was perfect. This is now a family favorite!

    Thanks for such a great recipe!

      I’m so glad to have you following Kerri and I’m so happy to hear you enjoyed this recipe! Thanks for your comment, I appreciate it!

  • Nicki Escudero

    Hi, Jaclyn, another great recipe! I actually couldn’t find fresh peaches anywhere because they’re not in season, but frozen ones worked just fine! Yum! Nicki

    I’m only replying to this because you mention Breyers Ice Cream. I think their vanilla ice cream is the best i have ever had. I am also a bit of an ice cream addict. Other than BR’s Lemonade Iced Tea, I only eat Breyers.

    As for the desert, I’m going to make this for the family for sunday dessert. Thank you for sharing. :)

    I just made this, but I used frozen peaches and a frozen berry mix. It was one of those last minute ideas. We topped ours with Blue Bell Homemade Vanilla ice cream. This was my first time to make a crumble and it is delish! I LOVE your site and have daily emails of your recipes. Everyone we’ve tried has been a hit in our house! Thanks for sharing!

    I made this recipe yesterday after seeing it on your blog recently. It is seriously one of the best things I’ve ever eaten! I’m not normally one who likes fruity type desserts either. I already want to make it again. Trader Joe’s has boxes of the most delicious, ripe peaches right now for $5.00 so it was perfect timing. It is hard to get good peaches here. I am in total agreement with you about Breyer’s ice cream. It is the best. Thank you so much for sharing this dessert on your blog!
