Servings: 8 servings
Ingredients
FOR THE CRUMBLE
- 1½ cups white, whole wheat all-purpose flour
- 1 cup chopped pecans divided
- ½ cup granulated sugar or your choice of artificial sweetener (I've used Stevia)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter cut into small pieces
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons canola or vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon pure strawberry extract
FOR THE FILLING
- 3 cups sliced peaches
- 3 cups cherries pits removed
- ½ cup granulated sugar or your choice of sweetener (I've used honey, stevia, and maple syrup at different times)
- 1 teaspoon pure strawberry extract
Instructions
For the Crumble:
- Prep. Preheat oven to 400ºF. Coat a 10-inch cast-iron skillet with cooking spray and set aside.
- Mix the dry ingredients. Combine flour, 1/2 cup pecans, sugar, and salt in a food processor; pulse until the nuts are finely ground.
- Add butter. Add in the butter and continue to pulse until well incorporated.
- Add the remaining ingredients. Add egg, canola oil, and strawberry extract to the food processor; continue to run the food processor until the mixture is combined and clumpy. Measure out 1 cup of the crust mixture and set aside.
- Make the crust. Take the remaining mixture from the food processor and transfer it to the previously prepared cast-iron skillet. Spread the mixture evenly over the skillet and press firmly into the bottom to form a crust.
To Assemble:
- Make the fruit filling. Combine peaches and cherries in a mixing bowl and gently stir in the sugar. Layer the fruit mixture over the prepared crust.
- Add the topping. Top with the reserved topping and remaining pecans, spreading it evenly over the entire fruit filling.
- Bake. Bake for 15 minutes, then lower the temperature to 350F and continue to bake for 20 more minutes. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 to 10 minutes.
- Enjoy! Serve with ice cream or without. Cover and refrigerate leftovers.
