Equipment
- 1 9-inch round cake pan greased
- 1 mixing bowl large
- 1 pastry cutter
Ingredients
Fruit Filling
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
- 4 cups fresh peaches sliced
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
Crisp Topping
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter cold and diced
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to get it ready for baking the crisp.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the blueberries and sliced peaches. Add the granulated sugar and lemon juice, tossing gently to coat the fruit.
- In another bowl, mix the flour, oats, brown sugar, and salt. Add the cold, diced butter and use a pastry cutter to blend until the mixture forms coarse crumbs.
- Transfer the fruit mixture to a greased 9-inch round cake pan. Evenly distribute the crisp topping over the fruit mixture.
- Place the assembled crisp in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling.
- Remove the crisp from the oven and allow it to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. This helps the fruit juices to thicken.
- Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for added indulgence.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for best results.
- You can prepare the crisp topping ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days before using.
Notes

How to Serve: Best served warm with ice cream or whipped cream.
