Peach season is coming to a close soon, but I’m trying to squeeze every last ounce out of it.

This Strawberry Peach Crisp is no exception!

Strawberry Peach Dessert

What don’t strawberries pair well with?! From strawberry rhubarb desserts to mixed berry recipes, the possibilities are endless. The combinations of peaches with strawberries cuts back the sweetness of strawberries a bit and adds a little bite of tartness from the peaches.

How to make Strawberry Peach Crisp

This easy crisp recipe starts with a buttery oatmeal and brown sugar crust. It is filled with fresh fruit and topped with a homemade syrup to tie it all together. Half of the crust is then crumbled on top of the fruit so you are left with the perfect bite of fruit and crunchy oatmeal topping.

Fruit crisp crust

To make the fruit crisp topping and crust, mix the following ingredients in a bowl just until the mixture forms into a small crumble. Be sure not to overmix or you will be left with a big ball of dough.

• 1/2 cup old fashioned oats
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 2/3 cup flour
• 1/3 cup salted butter, melted
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Divide the mixture in half and add half of the mixture to a greased 9X9 pan. Press the mixture into the pan to form the crust.

Fresh fruit filling

I understand it isn’t always the easiest to get your hands on quality fresh peaches and strawberries depending on the time of the year, but they are a must in any crisp recipe. If you go with canned or frozen fruits, you will be left with a mushy or runny crisp…that is not crispy at all.

Top the crust with 1 cup of sliced strawberries and 2 1/2 cups peeled and diced peaches.

Brown sugar syrup

Next up, we need to make a syrup on the stovetop from the following ingredients,

• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 3 teaspoons cornstarch
• 1/3 cup water
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

This might sound like a tedious step, but I promise it is so easy. Simply mix the brown sugar and cornstarch in a small saucepan. Add the water and salt and cook over medium-high heat for a few minutes, just until the mixture thickens.

Remove the syrup from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Pour the syrup over the peaches and strawberries.

Peach Crisp Topping

Grab the remaining half of the oatmeal, butter and brown sugar crumble and sprinkle it over the top of the fruit in syrup. Place the peach crisp in the oven and bake at 350° or 35 minutes.

How to make fruit crisp topping crunchy

If you are like me and like your fruit crisp topping extra crunchy, then turn your oven to broil. Pop the baked peach crisp under the broiler for just a couple minutes, keeping a very close eye on it.

When using a broiler, you can go from crispy to burnt in a matter of seconds, so it is something you can’t walk away from. Keep a close eye on it and pull it out as soon as there are bits of golden brown goodness.

Can I make fruit crisp vegan
