Ingredients You’ll Need

This recipe features a short and sweet ingredients list, but each element matters. Every ingredient in Your Amazing Peach & Blueberry Crisp plays a special role, combining to create a bold, fresh flavor and the signature golden crunch that makes this dessert unforgettable.

• Fresh Peaches (2 cups, sliced): The star of the show—choose firm but ripe peaches for that luscious, honey-like flavor.
• Fresh Blueberries (1 cup): Their natural tartness balances the peaches and adds brilliant color.
• Granulated Sugar (1/4 cup): Just enough to enhance the fruit’s natural sweetness without overpowering.
• All-Purpose Flour (1 tablespoon + 1 cup): A touch tossed with the fruit thickens the filling, while the rest forms the crumbly topping.
• Lemon Juice (1 teaspoon): Brightens everything and keeps the fruit flavors lively.
• Rolled Oats (1/2 cup): A classic crisp essential for that hearty, rustic texture in the topping.
• Packed Brown Sugar (1/2 cup): Deepens the flavor and lends a caramel-like richness to every bite.
• Ground Cinnamon (1/4 teaspoon): Invites warmth and spice without taking center stage.
• Nutmeg (1/4 teaspoon): Just a pinch brings an extra dimension and coziness to the topping.
• Cold Unsalted Butter (1/2 cup, cut into cubes): The secret to a perfectly crumbly, golden topping is cold butter—don’t skip this detail!

How to Make Your Amazing Peach & Blueberry Crisp

Step 1: Prep Your Oven and Pan

Before you dive headfirst into fruity goodness, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grab an 8×8 inch baking dish—glass or ceramic both work—and give it a quick swipe of butter or nonstick spray, just to make cleanup (and serving) a breeze.

Step 2: Build the Juicy Fruit Layer

In a medium bowl, gently toss your sliced peaches and blueberries with the granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon of flour, and lemon juice. Let the mixture sit for a few minutes. This helps the sugar start to dissolve and the fruit to release its syrupy magic. Then, pour the fruit evenly into your prepared baking dish, spreading it out so every bite gets its fair share.

Step 3: Mix the Perfect Crumble Topping

In a separate bowl, combine the remaining 1 cup of all-purpose flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Give it all a good stir to make sure the spices are evenly distributed for that crave-worthy flavor in every spoonful.

Step 4: Cut in the Butter

Add your cold, cubed unsalted butter to the topping mixture. Use your fingertips or a pastry blender to work the butter in until the mixture looks like coarse, sandy crumbs with a few pea-sized bits of butter. This step takes just a few minutes but is essential for that golden, craggy crisp texture.

Step 5: Assemble and Bake

Sprinkle the crumb mixture evenly over your waiting fruit layer, piling it up a little higher in the middle if you like extra crunch. Slide the dish into the oven and bake for 35–45 minutes, watching as the fruit bubbles and the topping turns beautifully golden brown.

Step 6: Let It Cool (Just a Bit!)

Once Your Amazing Peach & Blueberry Crisp is out of the oven, resist the urge to dig in right away! Let it cool for about 15 minutes—this allows the juices to thicken slightly, so you get the perfect scoop every time.

How to Serve Your Amazing Peach & Blueberry Crisp

Garnishes

Side Dishes

Creative Ways to Present

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing Leftovers

Store any leftover Your Amazing Peach & Blueberry Crisp covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The fruit will continue to soften and the topping may lose a bit of its crunch, but the flavors only get better as they mingle.

Freezing

You can freeze your baked crisp—just let it cool completely first, then wrap it tightly or place in an airtight container. It will keep for up to 2 months. When you’re ready to enjoy, thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.

Reheating

To reheat, cover the dish loosely with foil and warm in a 350°F oven until heated through, about 15–20 minutes. For a crispier topping, uncover for the last few minutes. A quick zap in the microwave also works for individual servings if you’re in a hurry.

FAQs

Can I use frozen fruit instead of fresh?

Yes, frozen peaches and blueberries work just fine in Your Amazing Peach & Blueberry Crisp! No need to thaw them first, but you may need to bake an extra 5–10 minutes to account for the additional moisture.

Is it possible to make this crisp gluten-free?

Absolutely—swap in a 1-to-1 gluten-free flour blend for the all-purpose flour, and be sure your oats are certified gluten-free. The delicious results will still have all the texture and flavor you love.

Can I cut down on the sugar?

Of course! If your fruit is perfectly ripe, feel free to reduce the sugar in both the filling and the topping, or use a sugar substitute suited for baking. Taste as you go to get it just right for you.

How do I know when the crisp is done?

You’ll know Your Amazing Peach & Blueberry Crisp is ready when the fruit filling is bubbling up around the edges and the top is a deeply golden brown. Give it a gentle shake—the middle should look set, not soupy.

What other fruits could I use in this recipe?

This recipe is incredibly versatile—try swapping in nectarines, blackberries, or raspberries for a new twist, or stretch into autumn with apples or pears added to the mix.
