Nectarine and Blueberry Crumble
For the filling:
2-1/2 pounds ripe but firm nectarines, pitted and sliced
1/4 C. light brown sugar
1/2 t. ground cinnamon
1/2 t. pure vanilla extract
1 T. fresh lemon juice
1 C. blueberries
For the topping:
1/4 C. pecans
3/4 C. rolled oats
1/2 C. whole wheat pastry flour or all-purpose flour
1/4 C. firmly packed light brown sugar or raw turbinado sugar
1/4 t. salt
1/4 t. freshly grated nutmeg
6 T. cold unsalted butter
Cream, whipped cream, or vanilla or plain yogurt for serving
Preheat the oven to 375�F. Butter a 2- to 2-1/2-quart baking dish or gratin.
Toss together the ingredients for the filling in a large bowl, then turn fruit
into the prepared dish.
Heat the pecans in a small dry skillet over medium heat, shaking the pan or
stirring the nuts, until they begin to smell toasty. Remove from the skillet at
once and chop the nuts coarsely.
Mix together the oats, flour, sugar, salt and nutmeg in a large bowl or in the
bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Cut the butter into small
pieces and work it into the flour mixture, either by taking up the mixture in
handfuls and rubbing it briskly between your fingers and thumbs, or by using the
pulse action in the food processor. The topping should have a crumbly
consistency. Stir in the pecans.
Spoon the crumble topping over the fruit in an even layer. Bake until browned,
about 45 minutes. Serve warm, with cream or yogurt if you wish.
Advance preparation: The topping will hold for a few hours in the refrigerator.
The crumble can be baked a couple of hours ahead and reheated.
Serves 6 generously.
