Ingredients
  

For the Filling:

4 large ripe peaches, peeled and sliced

1 cup fresh raspberries

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

For the Crumble Topping:

1 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/3 cup packed brown sugar

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes

1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional; consider using almonds or walnuts for added crunch)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch baking dish or pie pan with butter or non-stick spray to prevent sticking.

    Prepare the Fruit Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced peaches, fresh raspberries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, cornstarch, and ground cinnamon. Gently toss the ingredients together, ensuring that the fruit is evenly coated with the sugar and spices. Allow the mixture to sit for about 10 minutes to let the flavors meld and the juices to release.

      Create the Crumble Topping: In a separate bowl, mix together the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the cold butter cubes to the dry ingredients. Using your fingertips, a fork, or a pastry cutter, work the cold butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. If desired, fold in the chopped nuts to add a delightful crunch to your topping.

        Assemble the Crumble: Pour the prepared fruit filling into the greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly across the bottom. Generously distribute the crumble topping over the fruit, ensuring an even layer that covers the filling completely.

          Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes. The crumble is ready when the topping is golden brown and the fruit filling is bubbling delightfully around the edges.

            Cool and Serve: Once baked, carefully remove the dish from the oven and allow it to cool for about 10 minutes. This crucial step allows the juices to settle. Serve warm or at room temperature, perhaps enhanced with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for a touch of indulgence.
