Ingredients

For the Crumble Topping

1 cup all-purpose flour
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, chilled
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

For the Filling

1 pound peaches, peeled, pitted, and quartered
1 pound plums, peeled, pitted, and quartered or sliced
2 cups (1 pint) blackberries
1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
Juice of 1 lemon
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest
Pinch of kosher salt

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Make the crumble topping: In the work bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal blade, combine the flour, butter, sugar, and salt. Pulse until the mixture is the texture of bread crumbs; set aside.

    Step 2

    Preheat the oven to 350°F.

    Step 3

    Make the filling: Combine the peaches, plums, and blackberries in a mixing bowl.

    Step 4

    Combine the brown sugar, butter, lemon juice, flour, lemon zest, and salt in another bowl. Gently mix the brown sugar mixture into the fruit mixture.

    Step 5

    Pour the fruit into a 2-quart baking dish. Sprinkle it evenly with the crumble topping.

    Step 6

    Bake the crumble on a baking sheet for 50 to 60 minutes, or until thick bubbles emerge from the crumble and the topping is golden brown. Serve warm.
