• 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
• Pinch of sea salt
• 1 Tbsp. butter, cut into small pieces at room temperature
• 3 Tbsp. orange juice (or 1 1/2 Tbsp. frozen orange juice concentrate)
• 1 Tbsp. chopped walnuts
• Nonfat vanilla frozen yogurt (optional)

(As always, for the very healthiest recipe choose organic products as much as possible)

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 375. Coat an 8-by-8-inch baking dish with cooking spray or extra virgin light olive oil.

To make the filling: in large bowl lightly toss peaches, blueberries, sugar and lemon juice. Place filling in prepared baking dish. Cover and bake for 15-20 minutes.

Meanwhile, make topping. In medium bowl, use fork to mix flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Add butter and blend with fingertips. Add orange juice concentrate and blend with fingertips until dry ingredients are moistened.

Remove filling from oven and stir it a little. Sprinkle topping evenly over the surface. Top with walnuts. Bake, uncovered, until topping is lightly golden brown, about 20-25 minutes more.

Let cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature with nonfat frozen yogurt if desired. This recipe can be easily doubled.
