Strawberry Peach Crisp Recipe

Introduction

Strawberry Peach Crisp is a delightful dessert that combines the sweet juiciness of fresh peaches and strawberries with a buttery, crumbly oat topping. It’s an easy-to-make treat perfect for a cozy night or summer gatherings.

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: In a bowl, mix the oats, 1/2 cup brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and melted butter until the mixture becomes crumbly. Spread half of this mixture evenly into the bottom of a greased 9×9-inch baking pan.
2. Step 2: Arrange the sliced peaches and strawberries evenly over the oat mixture in the pan.
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 just a couple of minutes.
4. Step 4: Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Pour this syrup evenly over the fruit in the baking pan.
5. Step 5: Sprinkle the remaining half of the oat topping mixture over the fruit and syrup layer.
6. Step 6: Bake the crisp in a preheated 350°F oven for 35 minutes, until the topping is golden and the fruit is bubbling.
7. Step 7 (Optional): For a crispier topping, switch the oven to broil, place the crisp on the top rack, and broil for 2-3 minutes—watch closely to prevent burning.

Tips & Variations

• Use fresh, ripe peaches and strawberries for the best flavor and sweetness.
• If peaches are not in season, frozen sliced peaches work well; just thaw and drain excess liquid before using.
• Add chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts to the topping for extra texture and flavor.
• Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an indulgent treat.

Storage

Store any leftover crisp in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat individual servings in the microwave or warm the entire dish in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes until heated through.

FAQs

Can I make this crisp ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the crisp up to the point before baking and refrigerate it for a few hours or overnight. Bake it fresh when ready for the best texture.

Can I use frozen fruit instead of fresh?

Absolutely. Just make sure to thaw and drain frozen fruit to avoid excess moisture, which can make the crisp soggy.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Topping

• 1/2 cup old fashioned oats
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 2/3 cup flour
• 1/3 cup salted butter, melted
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon

Fruit Filling

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

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: In a bowl, combine old fashioned oats, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and melted salted butter. Mix until the mixture becomes crumbly. Reserve half of this mixture to form the base layer.
2. Form the crust: Spread half of the crumbly topping mixture evenly into the bottom of a greased 9×9 inch baking pan to create the crust.
3. Add the fruit: Arrange the peeled and sliced peaches along with the sliced strawberries evenly over the crust layer in the pan.
4. Make the syrup: In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, combine brown sugar, cornstarch, salt, and water. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens, which should take only a few minutes. Remove from heat.
5. Flavor the syrup: Stir vanilla extract into the thickened syrup and then pour this sweet mixture evenly over the fruit layer in the pan.
6. Add the topping: Sprinkle the remaining crumbly topping mixture evenly over the fruit and syrup layer to complete the crisp.
7. Bake the crisp: Place the assembled pan in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) and bake for 35 minutes, until the topping is golden and the filling is bubbly.
8. Optional broil: For a crispier topping, switch the oven to broil and place the pan on the top rack. Broil for 2-3 minutes while watching carefully to prevent burning, until the topping is nicely browned.

Notes

• Ensure peaches are peeled properly for the best texture in the crisp.
• Watch the syrup closely while cooking as it thickens quickly and can burn if unattended.
• Broiling is optional but adds a delightful crunch to the topping.
• Use fresh, ripe fruit for maximum flavor, but frozen can be substituted if needed (thaw and drain first).
• Serve warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra special treat.
