Description
This Blueberry Peach Crisp is the ultimate celebration of summer fruit, combining the honey-like sweetness of sun-ripened peaches with the tart pop of fresh blueberries. The warm, bubbly fruit filling is perfectly balanced by a golden, buttery oat topping that provides a satisfying crunch in every single bite.
Ingredients
Fruit Base
- 4 cups ripe yellow peaches, pitted and sliced (1/2 inch thick)
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 2 tablespoons agave nectar or honey
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
Crisp Topping
- 1 cup quick or rolled oats
- 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- Optional: 1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat and Prep Fruit
Preheat your oven to 375F. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced yellow peaches, blueberries, agave nectar (or honey), lemon juice, and lemon zest. Sprinkle the cornstarch over the top and toss gently until every piece of fruit is evenly coated to ensure the filling thickens properly.
Step 2: Assemble the Base
Transfer the prepared fruit mixture into an ungreased pie dish, spreading it out into an even layer.
Step 3: Prepare the Topping
In a separate bowl, mix together the oats, whole wheat flour, light brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter. Stir until the mixture becomes crumbly and the oats are well coated.
Step 4: Bake
Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the fruit base. Place the dish in the oven and bake for approximately 40 minutes. The crisp is ready when the topping is golden brown and the fruit juices are bubbling at the edges.
Step 5: Rest and Serve
Remove from the oven and let the crisp rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to set. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
Storage and Reheating: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To maintain the crunch, reheat in a 350F oven for a few minutes.
Fruit Tips: You can use frozen fruit without thawing; simply increase the bake time by 5-10 minutes. Peeling peaches is optional as the skins soften during baking.
Advance Prep: You can mix the dry topping ingredients in advance. Always zest your lemon before juicing it for easier handling.
