The dessert has three visible layers: the top crumb layer is golden brown with a rough texture made of oats and crushed nuts; the middle layer is shiny, juicy fruit pieces in shades of bright yellow and red, showing peaches and strawberries; the bottom layer is not clearly visible but appears softened and syrupy, holding the fruit together. The background is blurred with a white marbled texture. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

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
2 1/2 cups peaches, peeled and sliced (about 3 peaches)
1 cup sliced strawberries
1/4 cup brown sugar
3 teaspoons cornstarch
1/3 cup water
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Step 1: Mix the oats, 1/2 cup brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and melted butter until the mixture is crumbly. Press half of this mixture evenly into the bottom of a greased 9×9-inch baking pan.
Step 2: Spread the sliced peaches and strawberries evenly over the crust.
Step 3: In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, combine 1/4 cup brown sugar, cornstarch, salt, and water. Stir constantly and cook just until the mixture thickens, about 2 minutes.
Step 4: Remove from heat, stir in the vanilla extract, and pour the syrup evenly over the fruit.
Step 5: Sprinkle the remaining half of the oat topping mixture over the fruit and syrup.
Step 6: Bake in a preheated 350°F oven for 35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is bubbly.
Step 7 (Optional): For a crispier topping, switch the oven to broil and place the crisp on the top shelf. Broil for 2-3 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.

Tips & Variations

Use ripe but firm peaches for the best texture and flavor.
Add a handful of chopped nuts, such as pecans or almonds, to the topping for extra crunch.
Substitute brown sugar with coconut sugar for a slightly different sweetness.
Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a classic combination.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat individual portions in the microwave until warm, or place the entire crisp in a 350°F oven for about 15 minutes to restore crispiness.
