Ingredients
Scale
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
- 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.
- 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.
- Add the fruit: Arrange the peeled and sliced peaches along with the sliced strawberries evenly over the crust layer in the pan.
- 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.
- Flavor the syrup: Stir vanilla extract into the thickened syrup and then pour this sweet mixture evenly over the fruit layer in the pan.
- Add the topping: Sprinkle the remaining crumbly topping mixture evenly over the fruit and syrup layer to complete the crisp.
- 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.
- 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.
