This was supposed to be a Tropical Crumble. It should have been overflowing with fruits and spices that would have you absently humming a Jimmy Buffett song. Exotic and 'yes, please, another umbrella drink'- ingredients, such as mango's, fresh ginger and bananas. I didn't have any of the above, save for the song "Lone Palm" floating through my head all day.
Luckily I did have access to several luscious white peaches and fresh blueberries! If they were capable of speaking poetically, I think blueberries would confess that they have a crush on peaches. Peaches are kind of like the cool BF's of cherries, blueberries twice-removed cousins. Needless to say, there was a lot of love in this humble crumble. The sweetness of the peaches played nicely with the more assertive blueberries. And even though my crumble was not as 'crumbly' as I would have liked (maybe because I was out of pecans?), it was still a great companion to the fruit. On a sweltering summer day, this is an easy dessert to whip up when your sweet tooth needs a quick fix.

Looks totally amazing!
it loosk amazing!
Mmmm, peaches and blueberries are a devine summery combination. And I love your topping! Thanks for baking along with me this week.
Perfectly beautiful! A superb combination of fruits!
Your crumble topping looks great! Mine sort of melted away. I used mango and pineapple, which was a good combination. I like the peach/blueberry combination, too.
ohh...that came out sort of looking like a cobbler. probably better than the original, especially with the summer fruits!
really lovely plating!
Looks so delicious. The perfect little summer dessert!
I want your recipe please! Not interested in tropical fruits.
Hi Akgardne,
Thanks for visiting! :)
In place of the bananas and mango's, I used 3 large peaches (skinned), and about 1/2 cup of blueberries. Also, I skipped the sautéing and the nuts. Other than that, it's the the recipe Gaye has on her site (in the link.)
I hope this helps! You can probably use just about any fruit. I think strawberries or raspberries would be delicious. :-)
That crumble looks incredible with the summer fruit. In fact, I think I need to rewind with some good peaches!
With all that fruit, it's definitely my kind of dessert!
