How to Make the Best Summer Fruit Crisp Ever

We’ll be the first to admit it: We love dessert. We *especially* love summer desserts made from all of the amazing in-season fruit we get to enjoy this time of year. One of our favorite things to whip up? Fruit crisps! There’s nothing like the combination of berries and a crumbly, sweet, buttery topping. Oh, and they’re SUPER easy to make. Ready to get cookin’? Read on for our Peach Blackberry Crisp recipe!

Ingredients:

– 6 large peaches

– 2 cups blackberries

– 3 lemons

– 1/2 cup granulated sugar

– 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

– 1 1/2 cups oatmeal

– 2/3 cup brown sugar

– 1/2 tablespoon cinnamon

– 1/4 teaspoon ginger

– 2 sticks salted butter, chilled and cubed

– vanilla ice cream

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Cut peaches into 1/2-inch pieces. In a large bowl, combine peaches, blackberries, the zest of 2 lemons, the juice of 3 lemons and granulated sugar. Stir to combine.

2. Spoon the fruit mixture into 6-ounce ramekins. Alternately, you can put the entire mixture into a large baking dish or pie pan.

3. In another bowl, combine the flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon and ginger. Stir together. Add the cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your hands, work the butter into the dry ingredients until large crumbs are formed.

4. Spoon the crisp topping over the fruit. Bake crisps for 30-35 minutes, until the top is golden and the fruit is bubbly.

5. Serve warm with ice cream!
