Ingredients

Scale

Fruit Filling

  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 2 cups juicy peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons sugar (optional, depending on fruit sweetness)

Crisp Topping

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Fruit Filling: Wash, hull, and slice the strawberries and peaches into bite-sized pieces. In a bowl, gently toss the fruit with lemon juice, cinnamon, and sugar if using, ensuring the mixture is juicy but not watery. Transfer the mixture evenly into a baking dish.
  2. Make the Crisp Topping: In a separate bowl, combine rolled oats, brown sugar, all-purpose flour, cinnamon, and salt. Add the cold butter cubes and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to blend the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture is crumbly with some pea-sized clumps.
  3. Assemble and Bake: Evenly spread the oat topping over the prepared fruit filling. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 35 to 40 minutes until the fruit is bubbling and the topping turns golden brown and crunchy.
  4. Cool and Serve: Let the crisp cool for at least 10 minutes after baking to allow the fruit juices to thicken. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for added richness.

Notes

  • Use ripe but firm fruit to prevent the crisp from becoming mushy.
  • Cold butter is essential for achieving a flaky and crunchy topping.
  • Lemon juice brightens the fruit flavor and prevents browning.
  • Allow the crisp to cool slightly before serving to maintain optimal texture.
  • Adjust sugar to taste depending on the natural sweetness of the fruit.
