I just love the warm days and crisp nights of Fall. It is my favorite season and always make me
want to bake something! There is a short time each year when Peaches are at their prime and
Apples are just starting to come into season. Those few weeks at the end of summer is always
a good time to make this Apple Peach Crumble. Adding peaches to the apple mixture and
granola to the topping creates different layers of texture and interest to the crumble. It is one
of my favorite recipes in those last days of Summer.
I hope you think so too!
Enjoy!
Apple Peach Crumble
6 Tbsp granulated sugar
Pinch of ground cinnamon
1 tsp of vanilla
6 apples, cored and peeled, three of them grated and three cut into chunks or slices
1 Tbsp all- purpose flour (optional)
1½ cups peaches, peeled with pit removed and cut into chunks
Zest of 1 lemon, Juice of ½
Preheat the oven to 400°F
Heat a small ovenproof baking dish - (I use a dutch oven) - add the granulated sugar, and heat
for about 5 minutes until it starts to caramelize. Add the cinnamon, vanilla and grated apples
and cook for 1 to 2 minutes on medium heat. In a bowl, add the apple chunks and flour and stir
to coat. Stir the apple chunks to the grated apples and stir. Add the peaches and lemon juice.
Remove from the heat and set aside.
For the Crumble Topping
¾ cup all-purpose flour
2 Tbsp brown sugar
3½ Tbsp butter, chilled and cubed
Pinch of ground cinnamon
¼ cup of your favorite granola (I like to use Maple flavored granola but any flavor will work)
To make the topping, place the flour, sugar, butter and cinnamon in a bowl and rub together
between your fingertips until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Add the granola and mix
until fully incorporated.
Sprinkle the crumble topping over apple and peach mixture and heat again on top of the stove
until the mixture is bubbling. Transfer the crumble to the preheated oven and bake for 12 to 14
minutes until the topping is a deep golden brown. Remove and serve warm with Ice Cream.
