Peach Blueberry Crisp

Peach blueberry crisp is a simple and tasty dessert that combines peaches and blueberries with a crumbly oat topping that’s baked until bubbly.  This crisp is great served warm or room temperature with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.  

As much as we enjoy pies, we can all agree that crisps, like this peach blueberry crisp, are the way to go because they’re easy to put together and have a greater range of textures.

This crisp comes together in about 1 hour and since it’s great served warm, it can be eaten almost right away!

We love the contrast of flavor and texture from the peaches and blueberries and find that when combined they are a winning combination.

We recommend serving blueberry peach crisp with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and whipped cream, if you’re so inclined.

As with many of our desserts, an espresso martini would compliment this crisp nicely!

How to make it

Each number corresponds to the numbered written steps below.

1. Preheat the oven to 350f and prepare a 10-inch cast iron pan or 9-inch pie dish with a light coating of cooking spray.  Peel and slice 3 medium-sized peaches into 1/2-inch thick slices and place them in a large bowl along with 3 cups of blueberries.  Cube 1/2 cup of cold unsalted butter and set aside.
2. Add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract, 5 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, and 1/2 cup of granulated sugar.  

3. Mix gently and set aside.
4. In a separate bowl add 3/4 cup of all-purpose flour, 2/3 cup of brown sugar, 1 cup of old-fashioned rolled oats, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon and mix to combine.  Add the cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your hands to combine.
5. Once the butter is distributed into the flour mixture it should be a thick, crumbly mixture.
6. Place the fruit filling in the cast iron pan.

7. Distribute the oat mixture on top of the filling.  
8. Bake the crisp in the oven for 40-45 minutes or until golden brown and bubbly.  Allow the crisp to cool for a few minutes before serving with vanilla ice cream and whipped cream.  Enjoy!

Top tips

• Peaches.  We peeled our peaches for this peach crisp, but you can leave the skins on if you’d like.
• Frozen fruit. Fresh blueberries and peaches were used for this recipe, but you can use frozen fruit and it will still turn out great. 
• Butter. The butter in this recipe should be very cold to help prevent it from melting too soon in the oven.  
• Baking pan. We used a 10-inch cast-iron pan for our blueberry peach crisp but you can use a 9-inch pie dish or casserole dish.
