A delightful dessert combining the sweetness of peaches and blueberries with a crispy topping.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Ensure your oven is fully preheated for even baking.
Slice the peaches into thin wedges and place them in a mixing bowl.
Use ripe peaches for the best flavor.
Add the blueberries, cinnamon, sugar, and lemon juice to the bowl with the peaches and gently toss to combine.
Be gentle to avoid crushing the blueberries.
Transfer the fruit mixture to a baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Choose a dish that allows the fruit to be spread in a single layer.
In a separate bowl, mix the flour, oats, and brown sugar.
Combine thoroughly to ensure an even topping.
Cut the butter into small pieces and mix it into the dry ingredients until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Use your fingers or a pastry cutter for best results.
Sprinkle the topping evenly over the fruit in the baking dish.
Ensure the topping covers the fruit completely for a crispy finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling.
Check halfway through to ensure even baking.
Let the crisp cool slightly before serving.
Cooling allows the juices to thicken for better serving.
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
The creaminess of the ice cream complements the crisp texture perfectly.
