Introduction

Strawberry Peach Crisp is a delightful, easy-to-make dessert that combines juicy peaches and sweet strawberries under a buttery oat topping. Perfect for summer gatherings or a cozy night in, this crisp offers a warm and fruity treat that’s sure to please any crowd.

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: In a bowl, mix the oats, 1/2 cup brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and melted butter just until crumbly. Spread half of this mixture evenly in the bottom of a greased 9×9-inch baking pan.
2. Step 2: Layer the sliced peaches and strawberries evenly over the oat mixture in the pan.
3. Step 3: In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, combine 1/4 cup brown sugar, cornstarch, salt, and water. Stir constantly and cook until the mixture thickens, about 2 minutes.
4. Step 4: Remove from heat, stir in the vanilla extract, and pour the syrup evenly over the fruit in the baking pan.
5. Step 5: Sprinkle the remaining oat topping mixture over the fruit and syrup layer.
6. Step 6: Bake in a preheated 350°F oven for 35 minutes, until the topping is golden and the fruit is bubbly.
7. Step 7 (Optional): For a crispier top, turn the oven to broil and place the pan on the top shelf. Broil for 2-3 minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning.

Tips & Variations

• Use frozen fruit if fresh peaches or strawberries are out of season; just thaw and drain excess liquid before assembling.
• Add chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans to the oat topping for extra crunch.
• For a dairy-free version, substitute butter with coconut oil or a plant-based alternative.
• Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an indulgent touch.

Storage

Store leftover crisp in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat individual portions in the microwave for about 30 seconds or until warm. The topping may lose some crunch after refrigeration but will still taste delicious.

FAQs

Can I use other fruits instead of peaches and strawberries?

Absolutely! This crisp works well with a variety of fruits such as blueberries, raspberries, apples, or even a tropical mix. Just adjust sweetness as needed.

How can I make the topping more crunchy?

Broiling the crisp for the last few minutes helps achieve a golden, crunchy topping. You can also add chopped nuts or increase the oats slightly for extra texture.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Topping

• 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

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 the Crisp Topping: In a mixing bowl, combine old fashioned oats, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and melted butter. Stir until the mixture becomes crumbly and evenly combined. Then, press half of this mixture into the bottom of a greased 9×9-inch baking pan to form the base.
2. Add the Fruit Layer: Evenly spread the peeled and sliced peaches and the sliced strawberries over the crisp topping in the pan.
3. Make the Syrup: In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, combine brown sugar, cornstarch, salt, and water. Cook while stirring constantly until the mixture thickens, which should take only a couple of minutes. Be attentive to avoid burning.
4. Flavor the Syrup: Remove the saucepan from heat, stir in vanilla extract, then pour the syrup evenly over the fruit layer in the baking pan.
5. Top with Remaining Crumble: Sprinkle the remaining half of the topping mixture evenly over the syrup-covered fruit.
6. Bake the Crisp: Place the pan in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) and bake for 35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is bubbly.
7. Optional Broil for Crispiness: For an extra crunchy topping, turn the oven to broil and place the crisp on the top shelf. Broil for 2-3 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.

Notes

• Use ripe but firm peaches to maintain texture during baking.
• Peeling peaches helps achieve a smooth filling, but you can skip this step if preferred.
• Keep constant watch while cooking the syrup to avoid lumps or burning.
• The broil step is optional but adds a nice golden crunch to the topping.
• Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
