Warm Strawberry Peach Crumble is a delectable summertime dessert made with fresh ingredients.
Sweets are not my weakness. I’m much more of a savory kind of person. And just like Keith, I have no problem passing on dessert. But put me in front of a good cheese plate and I turn to mush. We bonded over this fact, and we talk about it a lot on superman cooks. If we were being completely transparent, our blog would consist of mostly potatoes (like this Four Cheese Potato Gratin), snacks, and of course, cocktails. But we know that a blog based on potatoes can only go so far. So, when one of us gets the urge to make something sweet, we always go with it.
In this case, I was actually craving a berry dessert. Strawberry season reminds me of berry picking in Michigan with my mom and my grandfather when I was a kid. Freshly picked fruit just makes me happy. It is always extra sweet and juicy, almost like candy. We would always bring baskets home and my mother would make jams and pie fillings (like for her famous Cherry Pie and freeze them for the colder months.

This Warm Strawberry Peach Crumble was created based on those memories. Keith and I found some incredible strawberries and peaches at the market, and I asked him to help make a dessert that we could serve with ice cream. I always love a crumble because it has a lovely crunchy texture (like a pie) but it is much easier to make. Even I can’t resist a fresh berry dessert in the summertime.
