Strawberry and Peach Crumble

 These days, we are all trying to eat healthy, so I was inspired to try out this dessert recipe I saw on food network. Somehow I cannot follow recipes to the tee, so made a few changes :)

Cut 3-4 peaches (peel them as well) and 8-10 large strawberries. Mix in 1/2 cup light brown sugar and 1 tbsp cornstarch dissloved in juice of 1/2 large lemon (abt 1.5 tbsp) and keep it aside. For the crust, mix 3/4 cup all purpose flour, 1/2 cup rolled oats, 1 cup light brown sugar, 2 tsp cinnamon powder, 1/4 tsp nutmeg powder, 1/4 tsp salt, 1/2 cup sliced almonds or any other nut you like and grind it in a food processor till the mixture is coarse. Add 8 tbsp cold butter cut up into bits and grind till butter is incorporated in the mixture. The overall quality of crust should be coarse. Grease a baking dish. Pour the fruit mixture into baking dish (I used 9x13 inch) and put the crust mixture over it. Preheat oven at 350°F and bake for 35-40 mins. Let it cool. Serve with a dollop of ice-cream. We had it with Vanilla once and another time with Tutti Fruti flavor ice cream that my good friend T brought along. Tasted divine with both!!

This dessert is really light and calorie conscious people can skip the ice-cream scoop. You can also reduce the amount of sugar as per your taste.
