Real Food: Blackberry and Peach Oat Nut Crumbles

This recipe is simple and fast, and comes together using staple ingredients that we always have on-hand.  (Our freezer is FULL of fruit and nuts!)  I wanted a crumble that was primarily nuts, rather than grain- pecans are a nice splurge but walnuts or almonds will do.  This recipe is also a bit frugal when it comes to the fruit.  You could easily increase the fruit if you'd like.  You can also use whatever fruits you have on-hand.  These make a nice and simple apple dessert, but I'd recommend cooking down the apple slices in a skillet with the sugar and some coconut oil before baking.

I love baking these in individual ramekins because, well, KIDS LOVE TINY INDIVIDUAL DESSERTS.  Who doesn't?

For a hot and bubbly dessert, you can put these together ahead of time and set them in the oven just as you begin dinner.
