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.

Servings: 8

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

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. 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.
  3. Transfer the fruit mixture to a 9x9-inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, chopped almonds, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt until well mixed.
  5. 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.
  6. Sprinkle the crumble mixture evenly over the fruit in the baking dish, ensuring it covers the fruit completely.
  7. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the fruit is bubbly and the topping is golden brown and crisp.
  8. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.
  9. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent touch.
