If there’s one dessert that screams summer, it’s a fruit crisp. This Peach Blueberry Crisp combines juicy peaches with vibrant blueberries, all nestled under a buttery oat topping that’s lightly spiced with cinnamon.

It’s easy to make, tastes incredible, and uses ingredients that might already be in your pantry. Perfect for last-minute gatherings or a cozy family dessert, this crisp will quickly become a staple recipe.

Why This Recipe Works

What makes a crisp like this so special? For one, it’s versatile! Peaches and blueberries make an ideal pairing, but if you’re short on one, other fruits like apples, raspberries, or blackberries can be used.

The simplicity of the ingredients also means that you don’t need to make a trip to the store. It’s a dessert that lets you work with what you have on hand.

Recipe Tips for the Perfect Crisp

To get that perfect balance of a bubbling, sweet filling and a crunchy, golden topping, here are a few tips:

• Fruit Ripeness: Use ripe peaches for the best flavor. If your peaches are a bit underripe, toss them in a bit of sugar and let them sit for 10-15 minutes before mixing.
• Topping Texture: The key to a great crisp topping is cutting the margarine into the oats and flour until it’s crumbly. You want small chunks of margarine that will create pockets of richness when baked.
• Baking Time: Keep an eye on the crisp as it bakes. The topping should be golden and the fruit should be bubbly, which usually takes about 30-35 minutes. If your topping is browning too quickly, cover it loosely with foil and continue baking until the fruit is tender.

Variations

This Peach Blueberry Crisp is a blank canvas for creativity:

• Spices: While cinnamon adds warmth, a pinch of nutmeg or ginger can bring extra depth.
• Fruits: As mentioned, you can mix up the fruits! Apples, pears, and berries all make delicious crisps.
• Nuts: Add a handful of chopped walnuts or almonds to the topping for added crunch and a hint of nuttiness.
• Sweetness: If your peaches and blueberries are very ripe, you might want to reduce the sugar slightly. This keeps the dessert from being overly sweet and lets the natural flavors shine.

Serving Suggestions

The beauty of a crisp is in its simplicity. Serve it warm from the oven with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream on top for an indulgent treat.

If you’re looking for a lighter option, a spoonful of Greek yogurt makes a creamy, tangy addition that pairs beautifully with the sweet, juicy fruit.

Make it Ahead: This crisp is also perfect for prepping ahead. Assemble it in the baking dish, cover, and refrigerate until ready to bake. Pop it in the oven when you’re ready, and you’ll have a freshly baked dessert in no time.
