Ingredients
Scale
Fruit Mixture
- 4 ripe peaches, peeled and sliced
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Crumble Topping
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Combine Fruit: In a large bowl, mix the sliced peaches, fresh blueberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Toss gently to evenly coat the fruit and release natural juices.
- Prepare Topping: In a separate bowl, blend rolled oats, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt, creating a well-mixed dry base for the crumble.
- Add Butter: Incorporate the cold, cubed unsalted butter into the oat mixture using a pastry cutter or fork, working until the mixture forms coarse crumbs resembling small pea-sized pieces.
- Assemble Crisp: Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish and pour the fruit mixture into it. Evenly sprinkle the oat crumble topping over the fruit to cover completely.
- Bake: Place the dish on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the crumble topping turns golden brown and the fruit mixture bubbles around the edges.
- Serve: Allow the crisp to cool slightly, then serve warm. Optionally, top with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for enhanced flavor and texture.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the fruit mixture.
- You can substitute brown sugar with coconut sugar for a more natural option.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated gently in the oven or microwave.
- To make it gluten-free, use gluten-free oats and flour.
- This crisp is best served warm but can also be enjoyed at room temperature.
