Description

This Peach-Blueberry Crisp is a quintessential summer dessert that balances the sweet juiciness of ripe peaches and tart blueberries with a warm, spiced, and crunchy topping. The filling comes together quickly, while the topping, made with honey crunch wheat germ, brown sugar, and cinnamon, offers a delightful texture contrast to the soft fruit underneath. It is incredibly versatile, perfect for casual weeknight suppers, potlucks, or as a comforting ending to a weekend brunch. Serve it warm alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of fresh whipped cream for an indulgent treat. The natural sugars in the fruit caramelize slightly during baking, creating a rich, syrupy base that makes every bite satisfying. This recipe is straightforward to prepare, requiring minimal hands-on time, making it an accessible yet impressive dish for any home cook.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (191&# 194;°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine honey crunch wheat germ, 1/4 cup flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
  3. Cut in the butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. In a separate large bowl, combine sliced peaches, blueberries, and 4 teaspoons of flour, tossing gently to coat the fruit evenly.
  5. Spoon the fruit mixture into an 8-inch square baking pan and spread it out evenly.
  6. Top the fruit with the wheat germ crumble mixture, distributing it evenly across the surface.
  7. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the fruit is tender and the topping is golden brown.

Note

Serve warm with vanilla yogurt or ice cream for best results.

If using frozen fruit, ensure it is thoroughly thawed and drained before mixing to prevent a watery filling. You may need to increase baking time by 5-10 minutes.

For a gluten-free version, substitute the flour with a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend and ensure the wheat germ is certified gluten-free.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven before serving.
