Ingredients

  • 1 cup blueberries
  • 1 cup apricots, diced
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup sliced almonds

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a bowl, combine the blueberries, apricots, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined and set aside.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your hands to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Stir in the milk until just combined. The dough will be slightly sticky.
  5. Pour the blueberry and apricot mixture into a baking dish. Drop spoonfuls of the dough evenly over the fruit.
  6. Sprinkle sliced almonds on top of the dough.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the fruit is bubbly.
  8. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
  9. Enjoy!
