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 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.
