A delightful dessert featuring the flavors of peaches and pecans, perfect for any occasion.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Always preheat your oven to ensure even cooking.
Prepare the peaches and apples by peeling, coring, and slicing them into bite-sized pieces.
Use a sharp knife for easier peeling and slicing.
In a mixing bowl, combine the sliced peaches and apples with apricot nectar, orange juice, vanilla, sugar, flour, nutmeg, ginger, and cinnamon. Mix well.
Ensure the fruit is evenly coated with the mixture for consistent flavor.
Transfer the fruit mixture into a greased baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Grease the baking dish to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
In another bowl, combine the pecans, oats, flour, and brown sugar. Mix well.
Mix the dry ingredients thoroughly before adding the butter.
Drizzle the melted butter into the topping mixture while stirring with a fork until crumbly.
Add the butter gradually to achieve the desired crumbly texture.
Sprinkle the topping evenly over the fruit mixture in the baking dish.
Distribute the topping evenly for a uniform crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit juices are bubbling.
Check halfway through baking to ensure even browning.
Allow the crumble to cool for 15 minutes before serving.
Cooling helps the juices thicken and makes serving easier.
