Nectarine Thyme Crumble Recipe 435

Steps:

• Make the filling: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Toss the nectarines, plums, granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, lemon juice and salt in a large bowl.
• Make the topping: Combine the all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt in a medium bowl, then stir in the hazelnuts. Work in the butter with your fingers until clumpy.
• Spread the filling and any juices in the prepared dish. Pinch handfuls of the topping into clumps and scatter over the filling. Bake until the topping is browned and the filling is bubbling, 40 to 45 minutes. Let cool at least 15 minutes. Serve with ice cream or whipped cream.

Steps:

• Mix filling ingredients in the 13x9x2 inch pan. Put the flour, sugar, and salt in a large bowl and use a large spoon to stir them together. Add the butter pieces, stirring to coat them with the flour. Rub the butter pieces and flour between your thumb and fingertips or cut them together with a pastry blender until coarse crumbs form that are about 1/2 to 3/4 inch in size, there is no loose flour, and the mixture looks pale yellow rather than white. Spread the crumbs evenly over the apple mixture. Baked for 40+ minutes at 350. Had to turn on broiler to make top brown.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a shallow five- to six-cup baking dish with a little butter.
• Lightly mix half a teaspoon of the cinnamon, half a cup of the brown sugar and the cornstarch together. Toss the nectarines with the lemon juice, fold in the sugar mixture and spread in the baking dish.
• With a fork or a pastry blender, or by pulsing in a food processor, combine the flour, remaining sugar and cinnamon with the remaining butter until crumbly. Spread over the nectarines.
• Bake about 40 minutes, until the top has browned and the filling is bubbly. Allow the crisp to cool to lukewarm, then serve with whipped cream or ice cream.
