A perfectly warm, comforting fall fruit dessert, this easy-to-whip-up blackberry-nectarine crumble is stunningly perfect and delicious.

As promised, here is the delicious fall fruit crumble that was the perfect vehicle for the luscious lemon ice cream.

Fresh nectarines and blackberries bask together in perfect fruit harmony. The topping is one of the best buttery crumble mixtures I’ve ever had on a fruit dessert.

I’m pretty sure I could make a dessert completely out of the crumble topping and nothing else. Of course, I probably would have to add a swoosh of dark chocolate in there somewhere but that’s probably a discussion and recipe for another time.

For now, let’s concentrate on the tender sweetness of this baked nectarine and blackberry crumble.

A perfectly warm, delicious, comforting fall fruit dessert, this easy-to-whip-up crumble is stunningly perfect with lemon or vanilla ice cream or simply a dollop of freshly whipped cream. Kira W., a longtime reader and recipe tester/reviewer, sent me the recipe and it will definitely be a dessert I make for years to come. Thanks, Kira!
