Strawberry Peach Crisp Recipe
Introduction
This Strawberry Peach Crisp is a delightful dessert that combines juicy peaches and sweet strawberries with a buttery, crumbly topping. Perfect for summer evenings or any time you crave a comforting, fruity treat.

Ingredients
- 1/2 cup old fashioned oats
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2/3 cup flour
- 1/3 cup salted butter, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 1/2 cups peaches, peeled and sliced (about 3 peaches)
- 1 cup sliced strawberries
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 3 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1/3 cup water
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Step 1: Mix the oats, 1/2 cup brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and melted butter until crumbly. Spread half of this mixture evenly into the bottom of a greased 9×9-inch pan.
- Step 2: Layer the sliced peaches and strawberries evenly over the oat mixture.
- Step 3: In a small saucepan, combine 1/4 cup brown sugar, cornstarch, salt, and water. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens—this should take only a couple of minutes.
- Step 4: Remove from heat, stir in the vanilla extract, and pour the syrup evenly over the fruit in the pan.
- Step 5: Sprinkle the remaining oat topping mixture over the fruit and syrup layer.
- Step 6: Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is bubbly.
- Step 7 (Optional): For a crispier top, switch the oven to broil, place the crisp on the top rack, and broil for 2-3 minutes. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
Tips & Variations
- Use fresh, ripe peaches and strawberries for the best flavor. If fresh fruit isn’t available, frozen fruit works well too—just thaw and drain excess liquid before using.
- For a nutty twist, sprinkle chopped almonds or pecans over the topping before baking.
- Add a pinch of nutmeg or ginger to the topping mixture for extra warmth and spice.
Storage
Store leftover crisp covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat individual portions in the microwave for about 30 seconds or warm the entire dish in a 350°F oven for 10-15 minutes. This crisp is best enjoyed warm but can be eaten at room temperature as well.

Description
A delightful Strawberry Peach Crisp that combines juicy peaches and fresh strawberries with a buttery, cinnamon-infused oat topping. Perfectly baked to golden perfection, this dessert is both comforting and refreshing, ideal for any occasion.
Ingredients
Topping
- 1/2 cup old fashioned oats
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2/3 cup flour
- 1/3 cup salted butter (melted)
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
Fruit Filling
- 2 1/2 cups peaches (peeled and sliced, about 3 peaches)
- 1 cup sliced strawberries
Syrup
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 3 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1/3 cup water
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare Topping: Mix the oats, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and melted butter just until the mixture becomes crumbly. Spread half of this topping mixture into the bottom of a greased 9×9 inch baking pan to form a crust.
- Add Fruit: Evenly layer the peeled and sliced peaches along with the sliced strawberries over the prepared crust in the pan.
- Make Syrup: In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the brown sugar, cornstarch, salt, and water. Cook while stirring constantly until the mixture thickens, which should only take a couple of minutes.
- Add Vanilla: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Pour this syrup evenly over the fruit layer in the baking pan.
- Top with Remaining Topping: Sprinkle the remaining half of the oat topping mixture evenly over the fruit and syrup.
- Bake: Place the pan in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) and bake for 35 minutes, until the topping is golden and the fruit filling is bubbly.
- Optional Broil: For an extra crisp and browned topping, turn the oven to broil and place the pan on the top rack. Broil for 2-3 minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning.
Notes
- Peach skin can be left on if preferred, but peeling ensures a smoother texture.
- The broil step is optional but enhances the crispiness and color of the topping.
- Use ripe but firm peaches and fresh strawberries for the best flavor and texture.
- This dessert can be served warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for added indulgence.
