Ingredients

For the topping:
1/2 stick (1/4 cup) cold unsalted butter, cut into bits
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
For the batter:
1 1/2 sticks (3/4 cup) unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon double-acting baking powder
1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 large eggs
2 cups blueberries, picked over and rinsed
2 nectarines, pitted and cut into 1-inch wedges
whipped cream or ice cream as an accompaniment

Steps:

Make the topping: In a small bowl blend together the butter, the sugar, the flour, the cinnamon, and the nutmeg until the mixture resembles coarse meal and chill the topping while making the batter.
Make the batter: In a small bowl with an electric mixer cream together the butter and the sugar and beat in the vanilla. In a small bowl stir together the baking powder, the flour, and the salt, beat the flour mixture into the butter mixture alternately with the eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition, and fold in the blueberries and the nectarines.
Spread the batter in a well-buttered 10-by 2-inch round cake pan or 2-quart baking pan, sprinkle the topping evenly over it and bake the buckle in the middle of a preheated 350°F. oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a tester comes out clean and the topping is crisp and golden. Serve the buckle with whipped cream.

Ingredients

TOPPING
4 Tbsp cold, unsalted butter, cut into bits
1/2 c sugar
1/3 c all purpose flour
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
BATTER
1-1/3 c all purpose flour
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
12 Tbsp unsalted butter, softened
3/4 c sugar
1 tsp vanilla
3 eggs
2 c fresh blueberries
2 large nectarines, pitted and cut into 1 inch pieces

Steps:

1. Make the TOPPING by mixing all ingredients by hand in a small bowl until the mixture forms large clumps. Cover and refrigerate.
2. Generously butter a 10 inch round cake pan and set aside.
3. Sift dry ingredients together in a small bowl. In a large mixing bowl, beat butter and sugar together at medium speed until fluffy. Add in the vanilla and the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in flour mixture until combined. Gently fold in blueberries and nectarines.
4. Spread the batter in the baking pan and sprinkle with the TOPPING mixture. Bake on the middle rack at 350 degrees for 1 hour. Toothpick inserted in the middle should come out clean and the top should be crispy and brown. Let stand for 15 minutes. Serve with whipped cream or ice cream.

Tips:

To ensure even cooking, use a baking dish that is no larger than 9x13 inches.
For a crispy topping, use cold butter and work it into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Fresh blueberries and nectarines are best, but frozen fruit can be used if thawed and drained thoroughly.
If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
For a sweeter buckle, increase the amount of sugar in the topping. For a less sweet buckle, reduce the amount of sugar.
Garnish the buckle with fresh mint or powdered sugar before serving.

Conclusion:

This blueberry nectarine buckle is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for summer gatherings. The combination of sweet blueberries, juicy nectarines, and a crispy oat topping is sure to please everyone. Whether you serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or at room temperature, this buckle is sure to be a hit.
