How to Prepare Easy Weeknight Rustic Peach Berry Crumble [Vegan]

Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Combine filling ingredients in a bowl and stir until well combined. Sample a small bite of fruit and add additional sugar if too bland or tart. Pour mixture into a small, greased baking dish.
Combine crust ingredients in a small bowl. You can probably do this successfully with a wooden spoon, but I have had the best luck smooshing it all together with my hands. It’s fine to leave some large clumps of butter. Smooth the crust mixture over the fruit in a thick layer.
Bake uncovered for 30 minutes, and then open oven to check for doneness. If the nuts and oats do not yet appear toasted, cook under the broiler (watching closely to prevent burning) for about 2 minutes, until lightly browned.
The crumble is ready when the filling is bubbling and gooey and the crust is slightly crisp. Serve warm in a bowl, preferably topped with a scoop of vanilla cashew or coconut ice cream
