DIRECTIONS
Prepare the crisp
Fruit:
Combine peaches, blackberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and salt in a large bowl. Toss gently to combine.
Scrape the fruit and any juices into an 8-inch round baking dish or the equivalent.
Place the pan on a rimmed baking sheet to catch any drips and bake the fruit at 350 degrees until bubbly. 25-30 minutes. Toss gently to redistribute.
Topping:
Stir together the almond meal, oats, flour, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and pecans in a large bowl.
Add 4 tablespoons of the melted butter and stir with a spatula or your hands until the mixture forms large clumps. Add the additional tablespoon of butter a little at a time if the mixture is too dry.
Crumble the topping over the baked fruit, forming some almond-sized clumps with your fingers.
Bake the crisp until the fruit is bubbling vigorously and the topping is golden, 25-35 minutes.
Let cool slightly to allow the fruit juices time to thicken, then serve warm with ice cream.
