Topping
- 1/2 cup old fashioned oats
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2/3 cup flour
- 1/3 cup salted butter (melted)
- 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
Fruit Filling
- 2 1/2 cups peaches (peeled and sliced, about 3 peaches)
- 1 cup sliced strawberries
Syrup
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 3 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1/3 cup water
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Prepare the topping mixture: In a bowl, mix old fashioned oats, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and melted butter just until the mixture forms a crumbly texture. Then, spread half of this mixture evenly into the bottom of a greased 9×9 inch baking pan to create the crust base.
- Add fruit layer: Spread the peeled and sliced peaches along with the sliced strawberries evenly over the oat crust in the pan.
- Make the syrup: In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, combine brown sugar, cornstarch, salt, and water. Cook while stirring constantly until the mixture thickens, which should take only a couple of minutes. Be careful not to burn it.
- Add vanilla and pour syrup: Remove the saucepan from heat, stir in the vanilla extract, and then pour the syrup evenly over the fruit layer in the pan.
- Add remaining topping: Sprinkle the remaining half of the oat topping mixture over the syrup-covered fruit to cover the entire surface.
- Bake: Place the pan in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) and bake for 35 minutes until the topping is golden and the filling is bubbly.
- Optional broil: For a crispier topping, turn the oven to broil and place the baking pan on the top shelf. Broil for 2 to 3 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning, until the topping turns a deep golden brown.
Notes
- Peeling the peaches is recommended for a smoother texture but can be optional based on preference.
- Check the crisp frequently when broiling to avoid burning the topping.
- This dessert is best served warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated before serving.
