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.
