strawberry rhubarb crumble

I love making my fresh peach crumble and wanted to recreate that dessert with my boyfriend's favorite fruit filling - strawberry rhubarb! He prefers his rhubarb desserts to be more on the tart side, so this recipe was created with that in mind. Modifying the recipe is pretty simple and the ingredients can be doubled for a 9x13 inch baking dish. Let me know if you have any questions and if you try this recipe, please share your results with me! Printer friendly recipe is at the bottom of the post.

INGREDIENTS
For the filling:
3 c strawberries
3 c rhubarb
1/4 c light brown sugar
1 tsp orange zest
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 c orange juice
2 tsp cornstarch

For the topping:
3/4 c all-purpose flour
1/2 c granulated sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp salt
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 c butter, melted and cooled
(optional) 1/4 c slivered almonds, toasted
(optional) vanilla ice cream for à la mode

INSTRUCTIONS
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2. For the fruit, toss the strawberries, rhubarb, brown sugar, orange zest, and cinnamon together in a large bowl.
3. In a measuring cup, dissolve the cornstarch in the orange juice and then mix it into the fruit.
4. Let sit for 15 minutes and then pour the mixture into a greased 8x8 inch baking dish.
5. In the meantime, get the topping together. Combine flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a bowl.
6. In a separate bowl, lightly beat one egg and mix in vanilla extract. Stir egg into flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Toasted slivered almonds can be mixed in for more crunch. Crumble on top of strawberry and rhubarb mixture.
7. Pour butter evenly over the topping.
8. Bake for 45 minutes or until golden brown. Best served warm with ice cream or served cold with Cool Whip.

fresh peach crumble

With summer coming to an end, I wanted to use the last of my fresh peaches to make a peach crumble.  I'm not a very good baker, but this recipe seemed simple enough for me to tackle.  To my surprise, it turned out really well, so I just had to share it with you guys.

INGREDIENTS:
6 cups fresh & ripe peaches, sliced (5-6 whole peaches)
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/2 grated lemon zest
1/2 ground cinnamon
(optional) pecans, almonds, hazelnuts, walnuts, or pistachios

Topping:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 egg, lightly beatened
1/2 cup butter, melted and cooled
(optional) vanilla ice cream

DIRECTIONS:
1.) Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  Place peaches in a greased, shallow 9x13 (2 qt.) baking dish.

2.) In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, flour, lemon juice, lemon zest, and cinnamon; sprinkle over peaches.

3.) Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon.  Stir in egg until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

4.) Pour butter evenly over the topping.

5.) Bake for 40-45 minutes.  Serve warm with ice cream if desired (it's awesome with ice cream).
