Instructions

Prepare the Fruit Filling: Wash and hull the strawberries, then slice and pit the peaches carefully. In a mixing bowl, combine the strawberries and peaches with granulated sugar, fresh lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Gently toss the fruit to coat evenly and set aside to marinate for about 10 minutes, allowing natural juices to develop.
Make the Crisp Topping: In a separate bowl, mix rolled oats, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt. Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter and work it into the oat mixture using your fingers or a pastry cutter until the topping becomes crumbly and holds together when pressed.
Assemble and Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking dish and pour the fruit filling evenly into it. Sprinkle the crisp topping generously over the fruit, covering the surface completely. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the topping turns golden brown and the fruit is bubbling around the edges.
Cooling and Serving: Remove the crisp from the oven and allow it to cool for at least 10 minutes so the juices thicken slightly. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra special touch.

Notes

Choose ripe fruit: The freshest, ripest strawberries and peaches ensure the best sweetness and juiciness.
Don’t overmix the topping: Keep butter cold and mix only until crumbly for a perfect crisp texture.
Let the fruit marinate before topping for a more flavorful and syrupy filling.
Adjust sugar based on your fruit’s natural sweetness to avoid over-sweetening.
Use a glass baking dish for even baking and to observe bubbling fruit.
