Peach and Blueberry Crisp
Indulge in the perfect summer dessert with this Peach and Blueberry Crisp! Juicy, sun-ripened peaches and sweet, plump blueberries come together in a delightful harmony of flavors, all topped with a crispy oat and almond crumble that adds a satisfying crunch. This dessert is not only a feast for the taste buds but also a delightful sight with its golden-brown topping contrasting beautifully against the vibrant fruit. Historically, crisps date back to the early 19th century in the UK, where they were a popular way to use up fresh fruits in the summer months, and this recipe stays true to that tradition while incorporating a modern twist with almonds for added depth.
Ingredients
- Unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup, cold and cubed
- Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon
- Cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon
- Brown sugar
- 1/2 cup, packed
- Almonds
- 1/2 cup, chopped
- Rolled oats
- 1 cup
- All-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup
- Cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon
- Granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup
- Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon
- Blueberries
- 2 cups, fresh
- Peaches
- 4 cups, peeled and sliced
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, gently combine the sliced peaches, blueberries, lemon juice, granulated sugar, and cornstarch. Toss until the fruit is evenly coated; this will help thicken the juices as it bakes.
- Transfer the fruit mixture to a 9x9-inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, chopped almonds, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt until well mixed.
- Add the cold cubed butter to the dry mixture. Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized pieces of butter remaining.
- Sprinkle the crumble mixture evenly over the fruit in the baking dish, ensuring it covers the fruit completely.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the fruit is bubbly and the topping is golden brown and crisp.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent touch.
Tips
- For a gluten-free version, substitute the all-purpose flour with almond flour or a gluten-free flour blend.
- Feel free to mix in other berries like raspberries or blackberries for a berry medley crisp.
- If you prefer a more intense flavor, add a splash of vanilla extract to the fruit mixture.
