The Best Summer Strawberry Peach Crisp Ever (Seriously!)

Okay, has anyone else been obsessed with summer fruit? 🍑🍓 Like, I can’t even. The market was bursting with strawberries and peaches last week, and I basically lost my mind. I mean, who needs therapy when you can bake? Right?

Okay, Let’s Talk Ingredients

So, picture this: I’m wandering around the grocery store, trying to keep my cool. Grabbed some old-fashioned oats. Then I’m like, “Wait, do I still have brown sugar?” (Spoiler: I didn’t 😅). Then there’s flour and cinnamon—don’t forget the vanilla!

Oh! And the stars of the show: those juicy peaches and strawberries. Gotta be ripe, okay? Not like that sad fruit you get when you’re too lazy to check. I mean, no one wants a sour surprise in their dessert!

Here’s a quick rundown of what you need:
– 1/2 cup old fashioned oats
– 1/2 cup brown sugar (plus a bit more for the fruit)
– 2/3 cup flour
– 1/3 cup salted butter (melted, not straight from the fridge, that’s just rude)
– 1/2 tsp. cinnamon (because YES)
– 2 1/2 cups peaches (about 3 peaches, peeled and sliced)
– 1 cup sliced strawberries
– 3 teaspoons cornstarch (trust me on this)
– 1/3 cup water
– 1/8 teaspoon salt (just a pinch)
– 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

So Here’s Why I Make This Constantly

Okay, real talk: this recipe is like my comfort blanket. 🥰 The first time I made it was during a heat wave, and I was like, “What’s better than hot, bubbly crisp?” You know what I mean? I had friends over, and it turned into this spontaneous taste test. Everyone was raving, and I was just sitting there, grinning like a proud parent.

Also, my grandma used to make something similar, so it’s like I’m carrying on the tradition or something. 😭 It’s nostalgic and super simple—like, you can literally throw it together in a blink. And the smell? OMG, my neighbors probably think I’m running a bakery.

Another beautiful angle of the dish — *Just as gorgeous from this angle too!*

The One Trick That Changes Everything

Alright, listen closely: when you’re cooking that syrupy goodness (you know, the brown sugar, cornstarch, and water mix), make sure to stir constantly. Like, don’t zone out! You want it thick and luscious, not a burnt disaster. I burned my first batch because I got distracted watching cat videos. Remember, focus!

Don’t Mess This Up (My Top Tips)

1. Don’t skip the butter! Seriously, it’s what makes the topping crispy and delish.
2. Use a nice ice cream scoop for serving it up. It makes you look like a pro, even if you’re just a hot mess in the kitchen (like me).
3. Check the crisp at 18 minutes— don’t wait for the full 35 minutes to peek! You want it bubbly, not blackened!

How to Keep Them From Disappearing (Or, How to Store Them)

Okay, if you somehow have leftovers (which is rare, trust me), just cover it with foil and pop it in the fridge. It’ll stay good for a couple days! You can reheat it in the oven or microwave, but honestly, it’s best fresh out of the oven. Just sayin’.

If You Liked This, You’ll Probably Like These Too

So, if you’re feeling adventurous, you should totally try these:
– Blueberry Lemon Bars (so zesty and refreshing!)
– Classic Apple Crisp (a fall favorite, but I’m not judging if you make it year-round)
– Chocolate Chip Cookie Skillet (because chocolate is life)

Alright, now I wanna hear from you! Have you ever made a fruit crisp? What’s your favorite summer dessert? 🍦
