Ingredients
- 4 cups sliced fresh peaches (about 4-5 medium peaches)
- 2 cups hulled and sliced fresh strawberries
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
If you prefer a gluten-free version, simply substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend. For a deeper flavor, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg to the fruit mixture.
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced peaches and strawberries. Sprinkle with granulated sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla extract. Gently toss to coat the fruit evenly.
- Transfer the fruit mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out in an even layer.
- In another bowl, mix together the flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Pour the melted butter over the dry ingredients, stirring until the mixture forms a crumbly texture.
- Sprinkle the oat mixture evenly over the fruit in the baking dish, ensuring the fruit is covered completely.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling. The aroma will be heavenly, reminding you of summer kitchens and family gatherings.
- Allow the crisp to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. This gives the juices time to thicken slightly, making for a perfect spoonful every time.
