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

  1. 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.
  2. Step 2: Layer the sliced peaches and strawberries evenly over the oat mixture.
  3. 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.
  4. Step 4: Remove from heat, stir in the vanilla extract, and pour the syrup evenly over the fruit in the pan.
  5. Step 5: Sprinkle the remaining oat topping mixture over the fruit and syrup layer.
  6. Step 6: Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is bubbly.
  7. 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.

How to Serve

Ingredients

Scale

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

  1. 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.
  2. Add Fruit: Evenly layer the peeled and sliced peaches along with the sliced strawberries over the prepared crust in the pan.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Top with Remaining Topping: Sprinkle the remaining half of the oat topping mixture evenly over the fruit and syrup.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
