Nectarine Crisp
Indulge in this delightful Nectarine Crisp, where juicy, ripe nectarines meet a crunchy, buttery oat topping. Each spoonful delivers a burst of flavor, enhanced by a hint of cinnamon and the brightness of lemon juice. This dessert is a perfect homage to summer, celebrating the sweet nectarines that are in season, and is best enjoyed warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream melting into the warm fruit, creating a delightful contrast of temperatures and textures. Historically, crisps and crumbles have roots in British cuisine, where they were created as a way to use up seasonal fruits and are now cherished favorites at family gatherings and potlucks.
Ingredients
- Butter
- 6 tablespoons, cold and cubed
- All-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup, divided
- Old-fashioned oats
- 1 cup
- Brown sugar
- 1/2 cup
- Cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon
- Granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup
- Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon
- Nectarines
- 6 cups, sliced and pitted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, combine the sliced nectarines, lemon juice, granulated sugar, 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour, and cinnamon. Toss until the nectarines are evenly coated.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the brown sugar, oats, remaining 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour, and cold cubed butter. Use your hands or a pastry cutter to combine the ingredients until they form a crumbly texture.
- Transfer the nectarine mixture to a greased 9x13 inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the nectarines.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the nectarines are tender and the topping is golden brown and crisp.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve warm, ideally topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra touch of indulgence.
Tips
- For a nutty flavor, consider adding 1/2 cup of chopped nuts such as almonds or pecans to the oat topping.
- Experiment with other seasonal fruits like peaches or plums for a delightful twist.
