- 2 cups ripe blackberries - 2 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced - 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice - 1/3 cup granulated sugar - 1 cup rolled oats - 1/2 cup all-purpose flour - 1/2 cup packed brown sugar - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened and cut into small cubes - Pinch of salt This recipe is simple. You need exact amounts for the best flavor. Ripe blackberries and fresh peaches make the crisp shine. Use a measuring cup for accuracy when scooping ingredients. - For the fruits, 2 cups each gives a good mix. - The lemon juice adds brightness. Just a tablespoon will do. - The sugars sweeten the fruit. You need 1/3 cup of granulated sugar and 1/2 cup brown sugar for the topping. - The oats and flour are key for the crunch. Both should be measured well for the right texture. Fresh fruit gives the best taste and texture. Ripe blackberries and peaches bring a lovely sweetness. Frozen fruit works in a pinch but changes the crisp's texture. If you use frozen, thaw and drain excess water first. This keeps your crisp from getting soggy. Both options can work, but fresh is my top choice for flavor! {{ingredient_image_2}} Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This helps the crisp cook evenly. In a large bowl, mix 2 cups of ripe blackberries and 2 cups of sliced peaches. Add 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice and 1/3 cup of granulated sugar. Toss gently until the fruit is well-coated. The lemon juice brightens the flavors and balances the sweetness. Next, grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray. Spread your fruit mixture evenly in the dish. In a separate bowl, mix 1 cup of rolled oats, 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup of packed brown sugar, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Stir these dry ingredients well. Now, add 1/2 cup of softened butter, cut into small cubes. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to mix until it looks like coarse crumbs. This gives the topping a nice texture. Sprinkle the oat mixture evenly on top of the fruit layer. Make sure you cover the fruit completely. Now, place the baking dish in the oven. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes. Look for a golden brown topping and bubbling fruit juice around the edges. Once done, take it out and let it cool for about 10 minutes. This allows the juices to thicken a bit before serving. Enjoy your warm blackberry peach crisp! To get the best crisp, use cold butter. Cold butter helps create a flaky topping. Make sure your oats are rolled oats. They give a wonderful chewy texture. Mix until the topping looks like wet sand. You want some larger chunks for extra crunch. Avoid overmixing, so it stays light and airy. Serve your blackberry peach crisp warm from the oven. Use individual bowls for a nice touch. A scoop of ice cream on top makes it special. You can also add a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra flavor. For a fun twist, add nuts to the topping. They add a great crunch and taste. Ice cream is a classic choice. Vanilla pairs perfectly with the sweet and tart crisp. Whipped cream is another lovely option. It adds a light and creamy texture. Try flavored ice creams like peach or berry for a fun twist. Always serve these toppings fresh for the best taste. Pro Tips Use Fresh Fruit: Always opt for ripe, seasonal blackberries and peaches for the best flavor and sweetness in your crisp. Customize Your Topping: Feel free to add chopped nuts or coconut flakes to the oat mixture for an extra crunch and flavor dimension. Let It Rest: Allow the crisp to cool for at least 10 minutes after baking; this helps the juices thicken, making it easier to serve. Serving Suggestions: Enhance your crisp by serving it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for a delightful treat. {{image_4}} You can change the fruits in this crisp. Try using blueberries, strawberries, or apples. Each fruit gives a unique flavor and texture. Mix and match to find your favorite combo. If you want a twist, add some raspberries for a tart kick. Just remember to keep the fruit ratio the same. To make a gluten-free crisp, swap the all-purpose flour. Use almond flour or a gluten-free blend instead. Check that your oats are certified gluten-free for safety. This keeps the crunch while making it safe for those with gluten issues. You will still enjoy a tasty dessert with a different texture. For a vegan version, replace the butter with coconut oil or a vegan butter. Also, use maple syrup or agave syrup instead of granulated sugar. This keeps the sweetness while being plant-based. You can also add nuts like pecans or walnuts for extra crunch. Enjoy a warm dessert that fits your diet! After you enjoy your blackberry peach crisp, let it cool completely. Store any leftovers in a clean container. Cover it tightly with a lid or plastic wrap. It keeps well in the fridge for up to three days. This way, you can enjoy your dessert later without losing flavor. When you're ready to eat the leftovers, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place your crisp in an oven-safe dish. Cover it with foil to prevent it from browning too much. Heat for about 15 to 20 minutes. Check if it’s warm all the way through. You can also microwave individual portions for about 30 to 45 seconds. If you want to save some for later, freezing works great! First, let the crisp cool completely. Then, cut it into portions. Wrap each piece in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer bag. Remove as much air as you can. Your blackberry peach crisp can stay good for up to three months in the freezer. When you’re ready to enjoy it, thaw it overnight in the fridge before reheating. To add more tang, use extra lemon juice. You can also mix in some sour cherries. Their tartness will balance the sweetness of the blackberries and peaches. Try adding a touch of lemon zest for a bright flavor boost. Adjust these based on your taste! Blackberry peach crisp pairs well with many things. A scoop of vanilla ice cream is a classic choice. Whipped cream also adds a nice touch. For something different, try serving it with yogurt or a drizzle of caramel sauce. Each option enhances the crisp's flavors. Yes, you can use canned peaches if fresh ones are not available. Drain them well to avoid excess liquid. Keep in mind that canned peaches can be sweeter, so reduce the sugar slightly if needed. This way, you still get a tasty blackberry peach crisp!

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups ripe blackberries
  • 2 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened and cut into small cubes
  • 1 pinch salt

Instructions
 

  • Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that the oven is at the right temperature when you're ready to bake.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the blackberries and sliced peaches. Drizzle with the lemon juice and sprinkle the granulated sugar over the fruit. Gently toss the mixture until all the fruit is well-coated.
  • Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with a little butter or non-stick spray. Carefully transfer your fruit mixture into the dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Stir these dry ingredients together until mixed well.
  • Add the cubed softened butter into your dry mixture. Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, mix together until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs, with some larger pieces for texture.
  • Evenly sprinkle the crispy oat mixture over the top of your fruit layer in the baking dish, making sure to cover it completely.
  • Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the topping turns a delightful golden brown and the fruit juice begins to bubble around the edges.
  • Once done, remove the crisp from the oven and set it aside to cool for about 10 minutes. This will help the juices thicken slightly before serving.
