Ingredients
Scale
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
- 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.
- 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.
- Add the fruit layer: Arrange the peeled and sliced peaches along with the sliced strawberries evenly over the crust in the pan.
- 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.
- 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.
- Add the topping: Sprinkle the remaining half of the crumbly topping mixture evenly on top of the syrup-covered fruit.
- 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.
- 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.
