Method
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Place the sliced peaches and blueberries in a large bowl. Toss gently to combine; if your peaches are tart, add 1–2 tablespoons of brown sugar or a teaspoon of lemon juice to brighten.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, rolled oats, flour, cinnamon, and salt until evenly mixed.
- Pour the melted butter into the dry mixture. Use a fork to stir until the mixture forms coarse crumbs. The texture should be clumpy, not paste-like.
- Spread the fruit evenly in an 8x8-inch or similar baking dish. Scatter the oat-butter mixture over the top in an even layer.
Baking
- Bake for 30–35 minutes, until the topping is golden and the fruit is bubbling. If the topping browns too quickly, loosely tent with foil for the last 5–10 minutes.
- Let the crisp cool for about 10 minutes before serving; this helps the fruit set slightly so it’s not too runny.
Notes
Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a delicious contrast. You can also freeze the baked crisp for up to 3 months, or assemble it and bake it from frozen, adding about 15–20 minutes to the baking time.
