I decided to incorporate blueberries, as well as peaches, since they’re so delicious this time of year. I will be sad to see the farmer’s markets end soon, so I’m taking advantage of the opportunity to use fresh produce whenever I can.

And the best part about this peach and blueberry crisp , besides the fruit? The topping! I used old-fashioned oats and rice krispies cereal for the crisp layer. Combined with melted butter, brown sugar, flour, and spices, this topping is irresistibly good. And it smells heavenly when baking, too!

Like most of my recipes, this crisp was a breeze to whip up! The hardest part was peeling the peaches, and trying not to pop the fruit into my mouth before it went into the dessert.

If you can restrain yourself long enough to let the easy blueberry crisp cool after it comes out of the oven, you will be rewarded with a deliciously fresh and sweet dessert, topped with a crunchy, buttery topping that satisfies your sweet tooth. I served mine with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream, and quickly inhaled it. Go ahead, I dare you not to have a second piece!

Tips for Making Peach Blueberry Crisp

Although fresh or frozen blueberries will work in this recipe, fresh peaches are a must. You may be able to use frozen peaches instead, but they’re often much firmer and less sweet than fresh peaches.

I baked this peach and blueberry crisp in an 8×8-inch baking dish, but you can also use four 5-inch mini cast iron skillets. This would be a great option if you’re hosting a small dinner party!

Note that instant oats and steel cut oats won’t work in the crisp topping. Old-fashioned oats (or rolled oats) are what you should use here.

FAQs

Why is my peach crisp soggy? ›

If your crisp is too soggy, it's likely because there was too much liquid in the fruit or because you didn't let it cool long enough. If your peaches are extra sweet, you might need to add more cornstarch or use fewer peaches.

How do you intensify peach flavor? ›

Spices and Herbs

Ginger, cinnamon, cardamom, clove and nutmeg give warmth and gentle spice to peaches, while herbs like basil, tarragon, thyme and rosemary add earthy notes to peach desserts.

What is the secret to crunchy crumble? ›

A pastry chef friend shared the technique. Instead of sprinkling the raw crumbs on top of the fruit, where they absorb the juices and turn a little mushy on their undersides, he spread them out in a pan and baked them separately, until crisp and cookielike.

How do you keep fruit crisp from getting soggy? ›

Thankfully for us, the folks in their test kitchen came up with a pretty great trick to maintain the crisp factor: they suggest macerating the peach slices (or whatever fruit you're using) with the sugar and salt called for in the recipe (letting them hang out together for awhile to release their sweet juices) and then ...

What does lemon juice do to peaches? ›

Ascorbic acid, commercial mixtures of fruit fresh or fruit preserver and lemon juice keep the color of peaches fresh and bright when serving fresh and in frozen storage.

Why is my peach tasteless? ›

They should be at room temperature in the storeroom, too. Otherwise, if they're being refrigerated, chances are good that they'll be in the killing zone (between 36 and 49 degrees) and could undergo the “internal breakdown” that causes the fruit to become dry, mealy and flavorless.

How do you make peaches taste sweeter? ›

Add the sliced peaches, sugar and salt to a saucepan and stir to combine. Cook on medium heat for just a few minutes, until the sugar is dissolved and helps to bring out juices from the peaches.

Why is my crisp watery? ›

Not adding a thickener

Fruit is naturally watery, and when it bakes, that liquid cooks out and mixes with your sugar and spices to create a delicious sauce. However, you don't want your apple crisp weeping everywhere. Just toss in a little cornstarch or tapioca starch with your fruit before baking.

Why is my fruit crisp runny? ›

As fruit cooks, it releases its juices, becoming saucy and soupy. This is partially what makes a crisp so delicious—but also what can turn it from a casserole-style dessert into fruit soup. (Some fruits, like red berries, contain very low amounts of pectin, meaning they won't "set up" without help).

Why is my peach so soft? ›

A ripe peach will be slightly soft to the touch. If it's too hard or firm, then that probably means it's not ripe yet. Try gently squeezing your peach — if there's a little bit of “give,” then your peach is ready to eat. Just be sure not to press too hard since peaches tend to bruise easily.

Should peaches be firm when canning? ›

Getting Ready to Preserve Peaches

Peaches should be firm, or "give" slightly and should have a strong, sweet smell and a yellowish golden background color. To peel, dip peaches in boiling water for 30 to 60 seconds until skins loosen.
