Method of Preparation

Step 1

Topping

Step 2

Place flour, sugars and spices in a food processer and process 2 to 3 seconds to combine. Add butter and pulse 8 to 10 times for 3 to 4 seconds each until the mixture resembles dry sand with chunks of butter.

Step 3

Add nuts and pulse 4 to 5 times for about a second each until topping resembles clumping wet sand. Do not over mix. Refrigerate topping while preparing the fruit.

Step 5

Filling

Step 6

For Apples, peel, quarter, core and cut into 1-inch (2.5 cm) pieces or 1/4 inch slices.

Step 7

For peaches, bring a gallon of water to a rapid boil. Score a shallow "X" into the bottom of each peach. Using a slotted spoon, add peaches to boiling water. Cook about 1 minute, stirring occasionally, to loosen the skin. Transfer peaches to a bowl of ice water and cool 1-2 minutes. Using a knife, beginning peeling each peach from the scored end. The skin should easily come off. Cut each peach in half to remove the pit and slice each half into 4 to 5 slices depending on size.

Step 8
