Cherry Peach Crisp with Oatmeal Cookie Crumble
Description
This Cherry Peach Crisp combines pitted bing cherries and thinly sliced peaches tossed with brown sugar, flour, salt, and cinnamon to create a lightly sweetened, spiced fruit base. Bits of butter added to the fruit help form a rich sauce during baking.
The oatmeal cookie crumble topping is made from old-fashioned oats, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and salt mixed with softened butter, hand-crumbled until it reaches a sandy, crumbly texture. When baked at 375°F, the topping crisps up and turns golden brown, contrasting with the tender, bubbling fruit beneath.
Once cooled slightly, the crisp is served with vanilla ice cream to add creaminess and garnished with fresh mint for color and a refreshing note. It’s a classic summer dessert showcasing seasonal stone fruits and cherries, ideal as a sweet finish to a meal or a comforting treat.

- 3/4 cups brown sugar loosely packed
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 8 tablespoons butter softened, unsalted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Place the cherries and peaches in a 9×13 inch baking dish. In a bowl, toss together the sugar, flour, salt and cinnamon. Add it to the fruit and toss well to coat. Sprinkle the butter pieces on to the fruit.
- To make the oatmeal crumble, stir together the oats, sugar, flour, cinnamon and salt. Add the softened butter and use your hands to crumble it up and toss it in the mixture – I combine it for a full 5 minutes until it is really incorporated and crumbly – almost the whole mixture is like wet oat-y sand.. Sprinkle it evenly over the fruit.
- Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, until the fruit is caramely and the crumble on top is golden. Let it cool slightly before serving with ice cream. Garnish with fresh mint!
