Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup old fashioned oats
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2/3 cup flour
  • 1/3 cup salted butter (melted)
  • 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
  • 2 1/2 cups peaches (peeled and sliced (about 3 peaches))
  • 1 cup sliced Strawberries
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 3 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your Strawberry Peach Crisp will bake evenly and develop a golden crust.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup old fashioned oats, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 2/3 cup flour, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Pour in 1/3 cup melted salted butter and mix until crumbly. You should see a mix of larger crumbs and sandy texture. Avoid overmixing; you want it crumbly, not a paste.
  3. Grease a 9×9-inch pan lightly with butter or cooking spray. Press half of the crumb mixture into the bottom of the pan. It should create an even layer that covers the base, about 1/4 inch thick.
  4. Next, layer the fruit: evenly distribute 2 1/2 cups of sliced peaches and 1 cup of sliced strawberries over the crust. Make sure the fruit is spread out well to ensure even cooking.
  5. In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, combine 1/4 cup brown sugar, 3 teaspoons cornstarch, 1/8 teaspoon salt, and 1/3 cup water. Stir constantly until the mixture thickens — this should take about 2-3 minutes. When it starts bubbling and is thick, it's ready.
  6. Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. Pour this syrup over the fruit, ensuring it covers as much surface as possible.
  7. Sprinkle the remaining crumb mixture over the top of the fruit. This will create a deliciously crunchy topping that contrasts with the soft fruit underneath.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes. You’ll know it’s ready when the top is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling around the edges.
  9. If you want an extra crispy topping, switch your oven to broil and place the pan on the top shelf for 2-3 minutes. Keep a close eye on it to prevent burning. The top should become beautifully caramelized.

Nutrition

Keywords: For the crispiest topping, ensure not to overmix the oat mixture; a light hand keeps it crumbly and airy. Consider adding a tablespoon of lemon juice to the fruit before baking to brighten the flavors and enhance the overall tartness.
