Add 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Toss gently to coat the fruit. Let it sit for about 10 minutes.

Don’t forget a pinch of salt for flavor. Now, add 1/3 cup of cold, cubed butter. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to mix until it looks like coarse crumbs. Now it’s time to put it all together. Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. Spread the fruit mixture evenly across the bottom. Next, sprinkle the oat topping over the fruit. Make sure to cover all the fruit. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 30 to 35 minutes. Keep an eye on it! You want the topping to turn golden brown and the fruit to bubble. Once done, take it out and let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your tasty strawberry peach crisp! To make a great crisp topping, use cold butter. Cold butter helps create a nice crumb. When you mix it with the dry ingredients, it stays in small pieces. This keeps the topping flaky. Achieve the right crumb texture by mixing well. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter. You want the mixture to look like coarse crumbs. Do not overmix, or the topping may become dense. Serve the crisp warm for the best taste. I love serving it in individual bowls. This makes each serving special. Top it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The cold ice cream melts into the warm fruit. You can also add whipped cream for a creamy touch.

Pro Tips Use Fresh Ingredients: For the best flavor, opt for fresh strawberries and peaches when they're in season. This will enhance the sweetness and overall taste of your crisp. Experiment with Spices: Feel free to add additional spices like ginger or cardamom to the topping for a unique flavor profile that complements the fruit. Make It Ahead: You can prepare the fruit filling and topping separately in advance. Assemble and bake when you're ready to serve for a warm dessert. Serving Suggestions: Serve your crisp warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream to add a creamy texture that contrasts beautifully with the crisp topping. {{image_2}} You can mix fruits for your crisp. Try blueberries or blackberries for a twist. Adding these fruits gives new flavors and colors. In summer, use fresh berries. In winter, frozen fruits work great. Each season brings a chance to change the taste. Want a gluten-free option? Use gluten-free oats and flour. This way, everyone can enjoy it. For a healthier dish, swap granulated sugar with honey or maple syrup. These options keep the sweetness but cut added sugar. Boost the flavor with spices. Try adding ginger or allspice to the topping. A splash of almond extract can also add a nice touch. Want some crunch? Add chopped nuts like almonds or walnuts. Seeds like sunflower can add texture too. These changes bring new life to your crisp. To store leftovers, cool the crisp to room temperature. Place it in an airtight container. Make sure to cover it tightly. This keeps it fresh longer. The best containers are glass or plastic with a good seal. They help keep moisture in and odors out. You can freeze the crisp before or after baking. If freezing before baking, assemble it in a freezer-safe dish. Cover tightly with plastic wrap, then foil. This protects it from frost. To freeze after baking, let it cool first. Then, slice it into portions and wrap each piece. For reheating frozen crisp, bake it at 350°F (175°C) for about 30 minutes. Check that it’s heated through and bubbly. In the fridge, the crisp lasts about 3 to 5 days. In the freezer, it can last up to 3 months. After thawing, enjoy it within a week for the best taste. To use frozen fruit, start by thawing it. Place the frozen strawberries and peaches in a bowl. Let them sit for about 30 minutes. This helps them soften. After thawing, drain excess liquid. You might need to reduce the sugar. Frozen fruit is often sweeter. Start with 1/3 cup of sugar, then taste. Adjust as needed. Follow the rest of the recipe as usual. Your crisp will still turn out delicious! Yes, you can adjust the recipe easily. If you need fewer servings, cut the ingredients in half. Use 1 cup of strawberries and 1 cup of peaches. Also, halve the sugar and the rest of the ingredients. This makes about four servings. You can also use a smaller baking dish. A 9x9-inch dish works well for this size. Just watch the baking time. It may need a little less time in the oven. Strawberry Peach Crisp has tasty and satisfying nutrition. One serving has about 220 calories. It offers around 5 grams of fat, mainly from the butter.
