…And we’re back :)

Two years later, I’m happy to be creating and posting new recipes on Broke and Cooking. Instead of playing catch up, let’s get right to the recipe that came to my mind simply because of the gorgeous nectarines and peaches at Trader Joe’s this season.

What You Need:

Filling:

  • 4-5 nectarines or peaches, cored and sliced

  • juice of 1/2 a lemon

  • 1/4 cup brown sugar

  • 1 heaping tbsp of all purpose flour

  • dash of salt

Crumble Topping:

  • 1/4 cup oats

  • 1/2 cup all purpose flour

  • 1/3 cup brown sugar

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 1/4 cup sugar

  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon

  • 4 tbsp butter, chilled and cut into cubes

  • optional: you can toss some flax seeds in!

Optional:

  • whipped cream

  • vanilla ice cream

  • fresh mint

  • fresh berries are wonderful when combined with this filling

  • sugar in the raw for a crispy, sparkly touch on top

What To Do:

  1. Pre heat the oven to 350 F

  2. Combine all the ingredients for the filling

  3. Pour the filling into a baking dish

  4. In a separate bowl, mix the topping ingredients together, adding the chilled butter in last. It’s easiest to use your fingers to cut in the butter. The finished topping will be large and chunky

  5. Cover the nectarine filling with the crumble topping

  6. Bake at 350F for about 45 minutes until the crumble topping is slightly golden brown

  7. Serve with whipped cream or ice cream and a sprig of mint!
