Nectarine and Apricot Crisp

Ingredients

• Unsalted butter (1/2 cup, cold and cubed)
• Brown sugar (1/2 cup)
• Almonds (1/2 cup, chopped)
• Old-fashioned oats (1 cup)
• Salt (1/4 teaspoon)
• Ground cinnamon (1/2 teaspoon)
• All-purpose flour (2 tablespoons)
• Granulated sugar (1/4 cup)
• Lemon juice (1 tablespoon)
• Apricots (2 cups, pitted and sliced)
• Nectarines (2 cups, pitted and sliced)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced nectarines, sliced apricots, lemon juice, granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, and salt. Toss until all the fruit pieces are well coated.
3. Transfer the fruit mixture into a 9x13-inch baking dish, ensuring it's spread out evenly.
4. In a separate bowl, combine the oats, chopped almonds, brown sugar, and cold cubed butter. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to mix everything together until the mixture takes on the texture of coarse crumbs.
5. Evenly distribute the oat and almond mixture over the top of the fruit in the baking dish.
6. Bake in your preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the fruit filling is bubbling and the topping has turned a golden brown color.
7. Once done, remove the crisp from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes before serving.
8. For an added touch of indulgence, serve this warm Nectarine and Apricot Crisp with a dollop of vanilla ice cream or a swirl of whipped cream.
