    Instructions
    
                
        For the topping    
                - Place the flours, sugars, spices, and salt in a food processor and process briefly to combine. Add the butter and pulse 10 times, about 4 seconds for each pulse. The mixture will first look like dry sand, with large lumps of butter, then like coarse cornmeal.
- Add the nuts, then process again, four or five 1-second pulses. The topping should look like slightly clumpy wet sand. Be sure not to over-mix or the mixture will become too wet.
- Refrigerate the topping while preparing the fruit, at least 15 minutes.
- Adjust an oven rack to the lower-middle position and heat the oven to 375 degrees.
        For the filling    
                - Toss the peaches, blueberries, zest, tapioca, juice, and sugar in a medium bowl.
- Scrape the fruit mixture with a rubber spatula into an 8-inch square baking pan or 9-inch deep-dish pie plate.
        To assemble and bake the crisp    
                - Distribute the chilled topping evenly over the fruit.
- Bake for 40 minutes.
- Increase the oven temperature to 400 degrees and continue baking until the fruit is bubbling and the topping turns deep golden brown, about 5 minutes more.
- Serve warm.
        
    Recipe Notes
    
                The crisp can be set aside at room temperature for a few hours and then reheated in a warm oven just before serving.
