The perfect end to a summer meal! With peaches and blackberries in season, this is a delicious way to wow your guests or family with this very easy dessert. You can substitute for nectarines or blueberries/raspberries to switch it up or use what you have on hand.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds peaches (about 3), pitted, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch thick wedges

Directions
- In a large bowl toss the peaches and blackberries gently with the cornstarch, lemon juice, and the granulated sugar until the mixture is combined well.
- In a small bowl, stir together the flour, brown sugar, oats, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg.
- Add butter, blending the mixture until it resembles coarse meal, and stir in the pecans.
- Spread the peach mixture in a 13-by 9-inch baking dish
