Strawberry Peach Crisp

A crisp ,or crumble, is a flavorful way to serve summer ripe strawberries and juicy peaches. Serve with a scoop of vanilla bean flecked vanilla ice cream ,or homemade whip cream, to make it a wonderful end to the meal. My personal favorite is to have it for breakfast too. It has fruit in it, right?  Whether you eat it as dessert or breakfast, your taste buds are going to thank you for it!

Course Breakfast, Dessert
Cook Time 1 hour
Servings 6

Ingredients

Crisp Filling

  • 2 Tbsp Lemon juice
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp Corn Starch
  • 4 Cups Strawberries, halved may need cut into forth's depending on berry size
  • 4 1/2 Cups Peaches, sliced
  • 1 tsp Cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp Nutmeg
  • 1/2 Cup Light brown sugar

Topping

  • 2/3 Cup All-purpose flour
  • 1 Cup Old Fashioned Oats
  • 1/4 Cup Brown sugar
  • 1 tsp Cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 Stick Unsalted butter, chilled, cut into cubes

Instructions

  1. Move oven rack to the middle. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. 

    Butter your 8 x 8 baking dish.

Filling

  1. In a bowl, whisk together the lemon juice and corn starch. Add the strawberries, peaches, cinnamon, nutmeg, and brown sugar. Gently toss the until the fruit is coated by mixture. Then pour the fruit into a buttered 8 x 8 baking dish.

Topping

  1. In a bowl combine flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Give it a light stir. Just to mix it up nicely. Then add the butter pieces. You can use a pastry blender, which is the weird hand held utensil in my picture, or a food processor to blend your dry ingredients with the butter. The important part is to get the butter/dry ingredients to clump together in pea size crumbs.

    Sprinkle the mixture over your filling. There should be enough topping to coat the entire surface of the fruit filling.

    Place the baking dish on a foil lined cookie sheet. 

    Bake for 60-70 minutes or until the fruit is bubbling and the topping is golden brown. 

    Allow to cool on a wire rack for about an hour.

  2. Serve with vanilla bean ice cream, homemade whip cream, or alone.

Recipe Notes

Frozen fruit can be substituted for fresh. Just make sure to thaw the frozen fruit first and include any juices.
