For the crust and crumble topping:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter cold, and cut into small pieces
- 1 large egg whisked
For the nectarine filling:
- 5 cups sliced nectarines about 4-6 large nectarines
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Line a 9x13" baking dish with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a large food processor, add the flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and pulse until combined.
- Add the butter, pulsing until crumbs form.
- Add the whisked egg, and pulse until a dough forms. If it seems like it's not coming together in the food processor, transfer it to a large bowl and stir together with a spatula or your hands.
- Press a little over half of the mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form a crust.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the nectarine filling.
- In a large bowl, stir together the nectarine slices, sugar, and cinnamon.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until combined, and then pour over the nectarines. Fold with a spatula to combine.
- Using a slotted spoon, transfer the nectarines to the baking dish, layering them over the crust. You don't want all of the juices, so use a slotted spoon.
- Sprinkle the rest of the crumb topping over the nectarine mixture.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, until golden brown.
- Let cool completely.
- Cut into squares, and serve!
