Ingredients
Fruit Base
- 4 peaches, peeled and chopped
- 3 cups blackberries
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ lemon, juiced
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into tiny pieces
Crumble Topping
- 1½ cups old-fashioned oats
- ¾ cup loosely packed brown sugar
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
To Serve
- Vanilla ice cream
- Fresh mint leaves, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray a 9×13 inch baking dish with nonstick spray to prevent sticking.
- Mix Fruit Ingredients: In the prepared dish, combine the peeled and chopped peaches with blackberries. Add the brown sugar, flour, kosher salt, and lemon juice. Toss everything well to coat the fruit evenly. Let this mixture sit while preparing the topping. Distribute the small butter pieces evenly on top of the fruit.
- Make the Crumble Topping: In a separate bowl, stir together the oats, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and salt. Add the softened butter, then use your hands to thoroughly crumble and mix everything together for about 5 minutes until the mixture resembles moist, crumbly oat sand.
- Assemble and Bake: Evenly sprinkle the crumble topping over the fruit mixture in the baking dish. Place the dish in the preheated oven. Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the fruit is bubbly and caramelized and the topping is golden brown.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow the crisp to cool slightly. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and garnish with fresh mint leaves for an elegant finish.
Notes
- You can substitute frozen berries if fresh are unavailable but reduce added sugar slightly depending on sweetness.
- For a nuttier topping, consider adding chopped pecans or walnuts to the crumble mixture.
- If peaches are not in season, substitute with nectarines or apples for a different flavor.
- Make ahead and reheat gently before serving with ice cream for convenience.
- Adjust baking time as needed for your oven; fruit should be bubbly and topping golden brown.
