Ingredients

Streusel Topping:

  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour to make it gluten-free, use an equal amount of gluten-free 1-to-1 baking flour
  • ¾ cup light brown sugar
  • ¾ cup quick rolled oats to make it gluten-free, use the small-flake gluten-free rolled oats
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp cinnamon
  • ½ cup cold butter no substitutes
  • 1/3 cup chopped pecans optional

Filling:

  • 2 lbs fresh peaches
  • 1 cup high bush blueberries
  • 1½ tbsp lemon juice
  • ½ tsp vanilla
  • 2 tbsp light brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 3 tbsp cornstarch
  • ¾ tsp cinnamon
  • Pinch nutmeg
  • Pinch salt

Instructions

Streusal Topping:

  1. In medium-sized bowl, combine, the flour, brown sugar, rolled oats, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Mix well. Cut in the cold butter with a pastry blender until mixture is crumbly. Add the chopped pecans if using. Cover and refrigerate until peach and blueberry filling is prepared.

Filling:

  1. Place oven rack in center of oven and preheat oven to 375°F.
  2. Score an “X” about an inch long into the bottom of each peach. Dip peaches in hot water for apx. 1 - 1½ minutes then immediately dip them into a bowl of ice water for 20-30 seconds to shock them and stop them from cooking. Peel peaches and slice each peach into wedges ½” - ¾ thick”. This should equal approximately 5 cups cut peaches. Sprinkle peaches with lemon juice and toss gently to coat the peaches. Sprinkle with vanilla. Add the blueberries. Stir gently.
  3. In small bowl, mix the brown and white sugars with the cornstarch, cinnamon, and salt. Mix into the peaches and blueberries, being careful not to break down the peach wedges.
  4. Grease 8-cup capacity casserole dish or baking pan (or 6 - 8 small individual oven-safe serving-sized baking dishes). Transfer filling to baking dish. Sprinkle evenly with the streusel topping.
  5. Bake for approximately 30 minutes or until topping is browned and juices from filling are bubbling. Remove from oven and let crisp stand for 30-35 minutes before serving. Add a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.
