• Bake in the preheated oven until crust is just beginning to brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
• Toss sliced peaches, blueberries, honey, and lemon juice together in a bowl until evenly coated. Pour filling into the cooled crust, slightly mounding the fruit in the middle.
• Mix flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a bowl until topping is combined. Stir in melted butter and vanilla extract until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle topping evenly over the filling.

PEACH AND BLUEBERRY CRUMBLES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Immerse the peaches in boiling water for 30 seconds to 1 minute, until their skins peel off easily. Place them immediately in cold water. Peel the peaches, slice them into thick wedges, and place them in a large bowl. Add the lemon zest, lemon juice, granulated sugar, and flour. Toss well. Gently mix in the blueberries. Allow the mixture to sit for 5 minutes. Spoon the mixture into ramekins or custard cups.
• For the topping, combine the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, and the butter in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Mix on low speed until the butter is the size of peas. Rub the mixture with your fingertips until it's in big crumbles, then sprinkle evenly over the fruit. Place the ramekins on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until the tops are browned and crisp and the juices are bubbly. Serve warm or at room temperature.
• If you want to make these early, store the unbaked crumbles in the refrigerator and bake before dinner.

• For the dough: Combine the butter, flour, confectioners' sugar and salt in a food processor and process until the mixture comes together in a solid mass (this may take a few minutes). Drop pieces of the dough all over the prepared baking sheet. Use your fingers to press the dough evenly along the bottom and about 1/2 inch up the sides of the pan, filling any gaps. Set aside.
• For the filling: Toss together the peaches, brown sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, vanilla, cinnamon, salt and nutmeg in a large bowl until the cornstarch dissolves. Transfer the filling onto the crust and spread in an even layer. Bake for 30 minutes.
• For the streusel: While the pie bakes, make the strussel topping by combining the flour, almonds, brown sugar, melted butter and salt in a small bowl until evenly moistened.
• Remove the pie from the oven and sprinkle the streusel evenly over the filling. Return the pie to the oven and bake until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly, 25 to 30 minutes more. (If the crust browns too quickly during baking, cover the pie loosely with foil.)

DRUNKEN BLUEBERRY PEACH CHEESECAKE TART

Steps:

• 1. ********** MAKING THE CRUST **********
• 2. Place a rack in the middle position, and then preheat the oven to 300f (150c).
• 3. Melt the butter in a butter warmer pan, or in the microwave, and set aside
• 4. In the bowl of a food processor, fitted with an S-blade finely grind the nuts. Chef's Note: Don't grind them down too much, or you'll wind up with nut butter. I HATE it when that happens.
• 5. Add the sugar, and then pulse to mix. Add the flour, and then pulse to throughly combine
• 6. Put the food processor on slow, and add the melted butter through the food tube. Blend until throughly combined.
• 7. Place the nut mixture into a 9 inch tart pan with removable bottom.
• 8. Using your fingers, spread the mixture evenly on the bottom, and up the sides of the tart pan.
• 9. Place the tart pan on a baking sheet, and pre bake in the preheated over for 15 to 20 minutes. Chef's Note: This is just enough time to help set the crust, but not completely bake it.
• 10. Remove from oven, and allow to completely cool. Chef's Note: The pre baking of the crust is not an absolute necessity; however, I like the additional crunch it imparts to the crust.
• 11. ********** MAKING THE FILLING **********
• 12. Place a rack in the middle position, and preheat the oven to 300f (150c).
• 13. Wipe out the bowl of the food processor, and refit with the S-blade. Add the eggs, and beat until thick and lemon colored, about 1 to 2 minutes, on high speed.
• 14. Add the sugar, cream cheese, and the vanilla, and continue to beat until smooth. Chef's Note: For most of my cheesecake recipes, I do add other ingredients; such as lemon or orange zest, and sour cream, but not for this one.
• 15. Remove the S-blade and then incorporate 1/2 cup of the blueberries into the mixture. Chef's Note: Use a spatula for this step, and be careful not to break the berries.
• 16. Pour mixture into the cool tart pan, until it is about 1/4 to 1/2 inch from the top of the pan.
• 17. Chef's Note: You will more than likely have more filling than you need to fill the pan. If this happens, pour the remaining filling into individual ramekins, and cook along with the tart. The filling tastes good, all by itself.
• 18. Place the tart, and any additional ramekins into the preheated oven, and bake until the filling is set, about 35 to 40 minutes.
• 19. Remove from the oven, and allow to completely cool, about 3 to four hours, before performing the remaining steps.
• 20. Arrange the thinly sliced peaches in a clockwise circle around the outer edge, and allow to slightly overlap. Then, going counter clockwise arrange another circle in the center.
• 21. Heat the preserves, and the bourbon in a small saucepan, and bring to a slight simmer.
• 22. Use a pastry brush to brush the drunken preserves over the peaches, and then add the remaining 1/2 cup blueberries to the pan, and coat with the remaining sauce. Sprinkle them over the top of the peaches.
• 23. Allow to cool in the fridge for at least an hour before serving.
• 24. Chef's Note: Peaches are not always easy to find; especially in the Autumn and Winter months. I've used other fruits; such as apples, and pears. However, I like to slightly pre bake these types of fruits in the oven (after slicing) just to soften them up a bit. Whatever fruit I use, I do not bake it with the cheesecake.
• 25. Chef's Note: I used peach preserves because that's what I had on hand; however, I see no problem with using other types. In other words: Experiment, and have fun. And, yes, if you don't want to use the bourbon... leave it out.
• 26. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
