Peach and Blueberry Crisp with Brown Butter Topping

This recipe is very similar to my Apple Crisp with Brown Butter Topping (In that post, I discuss brown butter in a bit more detail and provide you with an awesome link). However, as summer ends and great peaches are still available, I wanted to share this recipe influenced by Sally's Baking Addiction. I have changed Sally's recipe somewhat based on my preferences, but her recipe is also quite tasty. 


Ingredients:
1/2 cup (1 stick) of butter
3/4 cup brown sugar,
1/2 cup all purpose flour + 2 tablespoons all purpose flour for fruit filling
1/2 cup old fashioned oats
1/4 cup chopped almonds (optional)
2 teaspoons cinnamon
4 to 5 medium peaches, sliced and peeled into thin pieces
1 cup blueberries
2 tablespoons white sugar

Instructions:

Following these instructions exactly will provide the best results.

1. Slice and peel peaches. Place in a 8x8 square plan (I prefer glass) and mix with the 1 cup of blueberries, 2 tablespoons of all purpose flour, and 2 tablespoons of white sugar. Set aside.

2. Make brown butter (Credit to Sally's Baking Addiction): Break butter into pieces and place into a light colored pot or skillet. Melt the butter over medium heat and stir occasionally. Butter will begin to foam (this is normal). Keep occasionally stirring and stay near the stove at all times. After 5 or so minutes, the butter will begin to appear golden. Keep occasionally mixing. The butter will be "brown butter" after a couple of more minutes when the butter transforms into a toasty brown and you will see little specks begin to form at the bottom of the pan. The butter will smell nutty. WATCH THE BUTTER CAREFULLY as the butter can quickly go from brown to burnt!!!
***Note: You can always skip this step and just use normal melted butter. The crisp will still be tasty. ;)

3. Mix together the dry ingredients (brown sugar, remaining 1/2 cup of flour, oats, optional chopped almonds, and cinnamon) in a separate bowl. Stir in the brown butter into the dry ingredients until well mixed.

4. Sprinkle the topping over the peach and blueberry mixture.

5. Bake for 30 minutes at 375 degrees. The topping should be a golden brown color.

6. Enjoy warm (if desired, serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream).
