Ingredients
Fruit Filling
- 5 cups fresh peaches, skinned and cut into 1/4″ slices
- 1/2 cup fresh raspberries
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- Juice of 1 lemon (about 1 tablespoon)
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Crisp Topping
- 2/3 cup rolled oats
- 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
- 2/3 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup cold butter, cut into small pieces
Optional
- Vanilla Bean Ice Cream
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the crisp.
- Prepare Baking Dish: Lightly spray a 9×9 inch baking dish with non-stick spray and set it aside.
- Mix Fruit Filling: In a small bowl, combine the sliced peaches, white sugar, all-purpose flour, fresh lemon juice, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Toss well to evenly coat the fruit.
- Add Raspberries: Gently fold in the fresh raspberries to the peach mixture, being careful not to crush them.
- Fill the Dish: Transfer the raspberry and peach mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
- Make Crisp Topping: In another bowl, mix rolled oats, flour, chopped pecans, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Add the cold butter pieces and use a fork to cut and mash the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture becomes crumbly.
- Top Fruit Filling: Evenly sprinkle the oat and pecan crumble mixture over the fruit layer in the baking dish.
- Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the fruit juices are bubbling and the topping is golden brown and crisp.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow the crisp to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
- Optional Serving Suggestion: Top each serving with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream for a creamy contrast to the warm crisp.
Notes
- For easier peeling of peaches, blanch them in boiling water for 30 seconds before cutting.
- Use fresh fruit for the best texture and flavor, but frozen can be substituted if fresh is not available, just thaw and drain excess liquid.
- The crumble topping can be made gluten-free by substituting all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
- Ensure the butter is cold when mixing into the topping to get a nice crumbly texture.
- Serve warm for maximum flavor and comfort.
