Blackberry, Peach & Hazelnut Crumble

Whenever we're together, times flies.

Our days are usually filled with checking work projects off our list (we love lists), followed by good, long mind-clearing walks, and finished with a delicious dinner in the company of good friends.

But not all the meals we cook together are elaborately prepared. In fact, few of the dinners or recipes we prepare at home for the people we love are overly complicated. Our secret? Using good quality, fresh ingredients.

Disclaimer: turning up the music a little bit louder and having a dance party in the kitchen always adds inspiration.

That’s why we love this recipe we developed for a summertime fruit crumble. While making this crumble is incredibly simple, it always turns out delicious. And no dessert looks more beautiful or is kinder to your body than a fruit-based dessert. When fruit is heated, the natural sugars caramelize making for a effortlessly healthy and delicious result.

Next time you're on "dessert duty" for a dinner party, pull this recipe out of your back pocket. It’s an absolutely yummy and guaranteed success.
