Step 1: Prepare the Blueberry Peach Filling

A sweet, juicy base infused with warm vanilla and citrus.

Ingredients Used:

Peaches, blueberries, sugar, honey, cornstarch, vanilla, cinnamon, lemon zest

Method:

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine peaches, blueberries, sugar, and honey.
  2. Sprinkle cornstarch, vanilla bean paste, cinnamon, and lemon zest over the fruit.
  3. Toss gently to coat the fruit evenly.
  4. Transfer to a buttered baking dish, spreading evenly.

💡 Pro Tip: Letting the fruit sit for 10 minutes allows the flavors to meld and intensifies the natural juices.


Step 2: Make the Buttery Cinnamon Crumble Topping

A crisp, golden layer that adds warmth and texture.

Ingredients Used:

Flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, butter

Method:

  1. In a bowl, whisk together flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
  2. Add chilled butter cubes and rub them into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Sprinkle evenly over the fruit filling.

💡 Pro Tip: For extra crunch, mix in chopped toasted almonds or pecans.


Step 3: Bake the Crumble

A slow bake ensures a crisp, golden topping and bubbling fruit beneath.

Method:

  1. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 35–40 minutes until the topping is golden and the fruit is bubbling.
  2. Let cool slightly before serving to allow the juices to thicken.

💡 Pro Tip: If the topping browns too quickly, cover loosely with foil in the last 10 minutes.


Step 4: Plate & Garnish for a Fine-Dining Finish

Transforming a homey dessert into a plated masterpiece.

Ingredients Used:

Honey mascarpone cream, blueberry reduction, fresh fruit, micro herbs

Method:

  1. Scoop a portion of the crumble onto a matte ceramic plate for a refined look.
  2. Add a quenelle of honey mascarpone cream or vanilla gelato beside the crumble.
  3. Drizzle blueberry reduction in an elegant swirl across the plate.
