Peaches. I love peaches. I have been slacking on my Barefoot Blogger posts, but when I saw this recipe,chosen by Aggie of Aggie’s Kitchen, I knew this one would definitely get whipped up in my kitchen. I had every intention of making this last night, but I ran out of time, so I woke up this morning and threw it together rather quickly. I scaled the recipe down quite a bit to accommodate only two ramekins. Usually I have a decent amount of self-control and can practice restraint when it comes to the consumption of baked goods. However, on top of the peaches, this recipe has a crumb topping which makes me weak, so I felt it was highly necessary to scale it down to only two portions; both of which I may consume by 3 pm…it’s healthy because it’s fruit…right?!? This recipe was quite the palette pleaser and would be absolutely amazing if topped with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream or a dollop of freshly whipped cream! Have a scrumptious day, now please excuse me while I go eat a ramekin full of fruity crumble goodness! Oh, and if you follow me on twitter, you know about my twitter only giveaway, so submit those cherry recipes!

Peach & Blueberry Crumbles
source: Barefoot Contessa at Home
serves: 5 to 6
For the fruit
2 lbs firm, ripe peaches (6-8 peaches)
2 tsp grated lemon zest
2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup fresh blueberries (1/2 pint)
For the Crumble
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup light brown sugar, lightly packed
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 lb (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, diced
Method
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
2. Immerse the peaches in boiling water for 30 seconds to 1 minute, until their skins peel off easily. Place them immediately in cold water. Peel the peaches, slice them into thick wedges, and place them in a large bowl. Add the lemon zest, lemon juice, granulated sugar, and flour. Toss well. Gently mix in the blueberries. Allow the mixture to sit for 5 minutes. Spoon the mixture into ramekins or custard cups.
3. For the topping, combine the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, and the butter in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Mix on low speed until the butter is the size of peas. Rub the mixture with your fingertips until it’s in big crumbles, then sprinkle evenly over the fruit. Place the ramekins on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper and back for 40 to 45 minutes, until the tops are browned and crisp and the juices are bubbly. Serve warm or at room temperature. If you want to make these early, store the unbaked crumbles in the refrigerator and bake before dinner.

Peaches and blueberries are perfect together, especially in a dessert!
Glad you tried and enjoyed the recipe! We loved it! I am loving your ramekins!
Is it all gone yet? Those ramekins are pretty darned cool! I'm thinking a plate full of just the crumble would be lovely!
Oh this is the absolutely most perfect combination. It sounds simply delectable! Your little ramekins are gorgeous!
The ramekins are super cute! These look awesome…I broke my ankle and am not doing too well around the kitchen lately on my crutches. I'm itching to get back to baking…I'll have to try these when I'm back on my feet (literally)!
Looks delicious! Love the photos.
I love those little ramekins! I know what you mean about portion control… these fruit desserts are too hard to resist! Beautiful photos, too!
It doesn't get much better than this!
YUM. A peach and blueberry crumble sounds delicious. I can't believe I haven't made a fruit crumble/cobbler this summer.
What a beautiful job! I should have scaled mine down, but I didn't. Munch, munch. Thanks for your kind comments on my blog.

I love those ramekins!! The crumbles look delicious – peaches and blueberries are a great combination.
Your ramekins are absolutely adorable too! So is the whole set with the crumble looking so ready to eat =D Crumbles are such a versatile comfort food, and so hard to limit myself on one small one
Don't you just love Ina? Her recipes are so foolproof. Way to go only making two. They would have been my breakfast and lunch.
I scaled this one down too. Yours looks delish!
Jamie, I said that to myself when I had a second but smaller serving of the blackberry cobbler I made Wed night.
These look delish and I have more blackberries to use up.
