Strawberry Peach Crisp Recipe

Introduction

Strawberry Peach Crisp is a delightful dessert that combines the juicy sweetness of fresh peaches and strawberries with a buttery, crumbly oat topping. It’s easy to prepare and perfect for sharing with friends and family on any occasion.

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: Mix the oats, 1/2 cup brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and melted butter just until the mixture becomes crumbly. Spread half of this mixture evenly into the bottom of a greased 9×9-inch pan.
2. Step 2: Arrange the peeled and sliced peaches along with the sliced strawberries evenly over the oat crust.
3. Step 3: In a small saucepan, combine 1/4 cup brown sugar, cornstarch, salt, and water. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens—this should take only a few minutes.
4. Step 4: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Pour this syrup evenly over the fruit layer in the pan.
5. Step 5: Sprinkle the remaining crumbly oat mixture over the fruit and syrup to create the topping.
6. Step 6: Bake the crisp 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, switch the oven to broil and place the crisp on the top rack. Broil for 2-3 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.

Tips & Variations

• Use fresh, ripe peaches and strawberries for the best flavor and texture.
• Substitute the brown sugar topping with maple syrup or honey for a unique twist.
• Add chopped nuts, like pecans or walnuts, to the crumble mixture for extra crunch.
• If peaches aren’t in season, frozen fruit can be used—just thaw and drain excess liquid before using.

Storage

Store any leftover crisp covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat individual portions in the microwave or warm in a 350°F oven for 10-15 minutes until heated through. This dessert is best enjoyed warm but can also be served at room temperature.

FAQs

Can I use frozen fruit instead of fresh?

Yes, you can use frozen peaches and strawberries. Thaw them completely and drain any excess liquid before assembly to prevent the crisp from becoming soggy.

How do I know when the crisp is done baking?

The crisp is ready when the topping is golden brown and the fruit filling is bubbling around the edges. The oats should be toasted and firm to the touch.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

For the Crisp Topping and Crust

• 1/2 cup old fashioned oats
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/3 cup salted butter, melted
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

For the Fruit Filling

• 2 1/2 cups peaches, peeled and sliced (about 3 peaches)
• 1 cup sliced strawberries

For the 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 topping mixture: In a bowl, mix the old fashioned oats, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon and melted butter just until the mixture becomes crumbly. Reserve half of this mixture to use later as the topping.
2. Form the crust: Spread half of the crumbly topping mixture evenly into the bottom of a greased 9×9 inch baking pan to form the crust layer.
3. Add the fruit layer: Arrange the peeled and sliced peaches along with the sliced strawberries evenly over the crust in the pan.
4. Make the syrup: In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the brown sugar, cornstarch, salt, and water. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens, which should take just a couple of minutes. Be vigilant to avoid burning.
5. Add vanilla and pour syrup: Remove the saucepan from heat, stir in the vanilla extract, and pour the syrup evenly over the fruit layer in the baking pan.
6. Add the topping: Sprinkle the remaining half of the crumbly topping mixture evenly on top of the syrup-covered fruit.
7. Bake the crisp: Place the pan in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) and bake for 35 minutes, until the topping is golden and crisp.
8. Optional broil for extra crispiness: For a more browned topping, turn the oven to broil and place the pan on the top shelf. Broil for 2-3 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.

Notes

• Peeling peaches can be easier if you blanch them in boiling water for 30 seconds and then transfer to ice water.
• Use fresh, ripe fruit for the best flavor, but frozen fruit can be substituted if fresh is not available.
• Watch closely when making the syrup to avoid lumps or burning.
• Broiling is optional but adds a lovely crunchy finish to the topping.
• Serving the crisp warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream complements the flavors perfectly.
