Ingredients

Fruit Filling

  • 2 pounds firm, ripe peaches, halved, pitted, and cut into 1/2-inch wedges
  • 2 cups fresh blackberries
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice

Crisp Topping

  • 1 cup quick-cooking oats
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • 1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
  • 1 stick plus 1 tablespoon cold unsalted butter, cubed

Instructions

  1. Prepare the fruit: In a large bowl, gently toss the peeled, pitted, and sliced peaches along with the fresh blackberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice until well mixed to evenly coat the fruit.
  2. Arrange in baking dish: Transfer the mixed fruit evenly into an 8- x 11-inch baking dish, spreading it out for uniform baking.
  3. Make the crisp topping: In a medium bowl, combine the quick-cooking oats, all-purpose flour, light brown sugar, kosher salt, ground cinnamon, ground cardamom, and freshly grated nutmeg. Mix well to distribute spices and sugars.
  4. Incorporate the butter: Using your fingertips, cut the cold, cubed unsalted butter into the oat mixture until it becomes crumbly and coarse, ensuring some small butter chunks remain for a tender crisp texture.
  5. Top and bake: Sprinkle the crisp topping evenly over the fruit in the baking dish, covering it completely. Place in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) and bake for 1 hour until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling.
  6. Cool and serve: Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

  • For best flavor, use ripe but firm peaches to prevent mushiness.
  • You can substitute blackberries with other berries like blueberries or raspberries based on availability.
  • Make sure the butter is cold when cutting into the topping to achieve a crumbly texture.
  • Serving warm enhances the flavors, and adding a scoop of vanilla ice cream is a delightful complement.
  • To make ahead, assemble the crisp and refrigerate without baking, then bake when ready.
