Triple Berry Peach Crumble

Fruit
Filling:

1 can
(15 oz) of sliced peaches (I use a jar from Costco)

¼ cup
brown sugar packed

2 TB
cornstarch or tapioca starch

2
cups of blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries (Trader Joe’s has a frozen
bag of these)

Crust
and Topping:

1
package of Enjoy Life Snickerdoodles (I usually use one and a half packages)

3 TB
of shortening (I use Spectrum)

1 tsp
vanilla extract (I use organic or homemade to avoid corn syrup)

1/3
cup brown sugar packed

To
make the fruit filling, combine the juice from the peaches, brown sugar, and
cornstarch in a saucepan, and stir.  Add
the fruit and cook on low until mixture thickens. 

To
make the crust and topping, combine ingredients in a food processor or blender
until mixture resembles flax meal.  Place
half of the mixture in an 8×8 greased baking dish.  Pour the fruit mixture over top of the
crust.  Then sprinkle the remaining
topping over the fruit mixture. 

Bake
at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes or until the topping is golden and fruit
mixture is dark purple and thick.  Let
cool 30 minutes before cutting.

This
is really good.  My kids call it
pie.  It’s a little runny.  Seems like it should hold together
better.  I think I’m going to experiment
with adding some tapioca to thicken it or use less of the peach juice.  Goes well with ice cream too.  We get So Delicious Vanilla Coconut Milk Ice
Cream or Breyers Natural Vanilla.

I got
this recipe from “Enjoy Life’s Cookies for Everyone!” cookbook.
