This Blueberry Peach Crumble is me taking advantage of the absolutely bomb-ass fruit that’s around at the moment. The peaches are incredible, blueberries are actually affordable, and I’ve cracked The Crumble Formula. So, this ridiculously delicious crumble was inevitable really. I just couldn’t resist.
The peaches and blueberries are scented with lemon zest and creamy vanilla, and then seasoned with a touch of sugar (hardly any, they were so sweet) and a squeeze of sharp lemon. The crumble topping I left bare and basic. Because really, what could be more delicious than the flavour of slowly caramelising butter and sugar? This perfect summer fruit really needed no further accompaniment. Except a scoop of melting ice cream. UGH so good.

- 1 cup (150g) plain flour
- ½ cup (100g) caster sugar
- 100g (1 stick minus 1 tbsp) salted butter
- 1 tbsp salted butter
- 2 cups frozen blueberries
- 2 large yellow peaches, washed and chopped
- 2 tbsp caster sugar
- Zest of 1 lemon
- juice of half a lemon
- 1 tsp vanilla bean paste.
- Preheat the oven to 180C/350F.
- Place the flour and sugar into a large mixing bowl.
- Cut the butter into small cubes, and add to the flour and sugar.
- Rub the butter into the flour and sugar, using your fingertips and thumbs, until a clumpy crumble forms.
- To make the filling, place the butter in a large pan, add the peaches and blueberries and cook just until the juices start to run, or if your peaches are not very ripe, sautee them first, to soften them up, and then stir through the berries. Remove from the heat and add the sugar, zest, juice and vanilla and scrape into a 9 inch (23cm) pie dish.
- Scatter over the crumble and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the fruit is bubbling and the crumble is golden and crisp.
This looks amazing! I’m saving it for when I can get good peaches.

Currently eating a drippy, juicy nectarine as I read this. The fruit at the moment is worthy of a hallelujah chorus! And the best hallelujah chorus consists of butter and her girls sugar and flour. Top that with the notes of a big ole scoop of vanilla ice cream, and I am hearing angels. I cannot wait to make this. It’s totally a dinner food, right?
HOW GOOD is the fruit at the moment, though? I’m eating peaches like they’re going out of fashion over here. And yeah, this is dinner. Of course!xx
I’ve got peaches and blueberrys practically coming out my ears right now so this is perfect! It looks killer amazing, Sarah!
YESSSS! Thanks Tori!
Wow! This blueberry and peach crumble looks delicious. I can’t wait to try it. I’m very much into blueberries at the moment. I tried the other day which was great. Can’t wait to give this crumble a go – looks so tasty!!! Thanks
This looks so delicious I really like summery crumbles served with ice cream like this. I made a really nice one with strawberries and berries – it was delicious.
This one looks just as good – I know you’ve perfected the best crumble formula, but I wanted to make a suggestion…porridge oats are delicious in crumble toppings. :-)
Absolutely! This is the beauty of crumble – add in and swap around however you like! xx
A hearty crumble topping like this is the BEST! It totally take already awesome filling over the top. Love this blueberry peach combo :)
This recipe looks amazingly delicious! I was thinking about some ice cream these days ;) It’s time
It is ice cream weather, for sure! xx
