Is Summer really over? I’m not complaining, BTW! In South Florida we have two seasons, HOT and perfect. Our summers are pretty miserable. Our winters are awesome. It’s like Fall weather for 4-6 months.
But the end of summer does mean the end of some of my favorite seasonal foods. Sweet watermelon and juicy peaches are two of our favorites. Yea, you can find both during the winter, but they’re not a juicy and sweet.
We’ve consumed our body weight plus some in both this summer. And I’ve shared a bunch of peach recipes this year! I even started freezing some of the peaches that were going bad, so we can enjoy them in the months to come.
Even though summer has come to an end, this recipe is great any time. The warm oatmeal crumble reminded me of a fall dessert. I’m actually planning to make this with apples soon.
The beer I used was a seasonal beer we found at Total Wine a couple weeks ago, Terrapin’s Maggie’s Peach Farmhouse Ale. Interesting fact, they used 1,000 pounds of peaches per 100bbl batch. That’s a bunch of peaches! And you could really smell them. The beer was light and refreshing with a little tartness or maybe bitterness. I honestly can’t remember. I should start keeping tasting notes with my recipes! Either way it was a nice beer.
A blueberry flavored beer would pair nice with this dish as well. I listed a few recommendations below.
Other Beer To Try:
- Festina Peche- Dog Fish Head {Seasonal}
- Blue- Sweetwater
- Son of a Peach- R.J. Rockers Brewing Co.
- Bluepaw Blueberry- Sea Dog
- FILLING
- 4 Medium Peaches (Fresh or Frozen Sliced {About 16 ounces})
- 1/2 cup Blueberries (Fresh or Frozen)
- 1/8 cup Brown Sugar
- 1/2 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 1/4 cup Fruit Beer
- CRUMBLE
- 1 cup Quick Cooking Oatmeal
- 1/4 cup All Purpose Flour
- 1/8 cup Brown Sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 3 tablespoons Melted Butter
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a large bowl, combine Peaches, Blueberries, Brown Sugar. If using frozen fruit, I recommend thawing the fruit before hand. In a small bowl, combined the cornstarch and beer. Stir to remove any lumps. Add the beer to the fruit mixture, then add to a large baking or pie dish.
- In another bowl, combined the Oatmeal, Flour, Sugar, and Cinnamon. Add butter and make sure to fully combine. I used a fork and my hands. You want all the flour to have a damp look to it.
- Sprinkle the crumble evenly over the top of the fruit. Place in the middle rack, and cook for 30-35 minutes or until the filling is bubbling and the top is golden brown. Serve warm.
