Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ripe nectarines, pitted and sliced
  • 1 cup (150g) fresh blueberries
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 3/4 cup (90g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup (50g) brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup (50g) sliced almonds
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, cold and diced

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine sliced nectarines, blueberries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, and cinnamon (if using). Toss gently until fruit is evenly coated. Let sit for 10 minutes.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, sliced almonds, and salt. Cut cold butter into dry ingredients using a pastry cutter or fingertips until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces.
  4. Transfer fruit mixture into a 9-inch baking dish, spreading evenly. Sprinkle almond crumble topping evenly over fruit without pressing down.
  5. Bake for 35-40 minutes until topping is golden brown and fruit is bubbling. If topping browns too quickly, cover loosely with foil halfway through baking.
  6. Let crumble cool for 10-15 minutes before serving to thicken and allow flavors to settle.

Notes

Keep butter cold to achieve crumbly topping texture. Toast almonds before mixing for extra flavor. If topping browns too fast, cover with foil. Use gluten-free flour or almond flour for gluten-free version. Use coconut oil or vegan butter for dairy-free option. Frozen fruit can be used but increase cornstarch slightly.
