Yield: 8 servings
Ingredients
For the cornmeal crumble
⅔ cup flour
5 tbsp + 1 tsp cornmeal
⅓ cup sugar
1 tsp lemon zest
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ tsp kosher salt
5 tbsp + 1 tsp unsalted butter, softened
For the crisp
5 medium peaches
2 cups blueberries
½ cup sugar
3 tbsp cold unsalted butter, cut into ⅛-inch dice
1 tsp lemon juice
1 tbsp vanilla bean paste
1 tbsp all purpose flour
1 tbsp cornstarch
Instructions
For the cornmeal crumble
First, make the crumble. In the bowl of a food processor, combine the flour, cornmeal, sugar, lemon zest, vanilla, and salt. Add the butter, breaking it into small clumps as you do. Pulse 5 times. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Repeat two more times. Transfer to a bowl, cover, and refrigerate until ready to use.
For the crisp
Heat oven to 350F.
Half the peaches, remove the pits, and then cut into ¼-inch thick slices.
Combine the peach slices, blueberries, sugar, butter, lemon juice, and vanilla bean paste in a large bowl. Sift in the flour and the cornstarch. Gently stir until well combined.
Pour the peach-blueberry mixture into a 9-inch pie plate. Sprinkle the crumble evenly over the top. Place on a foil-lined baking sheet and bake until the fruit is bubbling and the cornmeal crumble is golden, about 50-55 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool briefly before serving. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.
