Blackberry Peach Crisp
Anyone else overflowing with peaches at your house and looking for a summer fruit dessert??
My husband and I did a CSA (community supported agriculture) box this year and—oh my goodness—peaches are definitely in season! We’ve gotten four peaches every week for the past several weeks.
While that doesn’t sound like a lot, they have quickly added up in our house! So I set out to make something with my peaches—but then Nicole suggested something with blackberries. I wanted to see if I could combine the two into something tasty, and here we are with a peach blackberry crisp!
The Perfect Summer Fruit Dessert: About this Blackberry Peach Crisp Recipe
This summer fruit dessert recipe is so easy, even people with little-to-no baking experience can make it. So don’t be afraid to send it to the person in your household who isn’t usually in the kitchen and ask them to put it together before hosting an event!
Tips for this peach blackberry crisp:
- If you’re avoiding corn, you can use arrowroot starch instead of cornstarc The cornstarch is simply a thickener, and arrowroot starch does the same thing.
- If you like sweeter things, add 1-2 Tablespoons more maple syrup to the peaches/blackberries. I like to let the flavors of the fruit shine rather than tasting mostly sugar, so I didn’t add very much maple syrup to the fruit.
- If you’re gluten-free, you can substitute a gluten-free flour blend for the whole wheat flour.
- Add cinnamon/nutmeg to taste. I think this is a great amount of each, but if you like more or less of those flavors, adjust them as needed.
- Pair this with ice cream! I personally love oat milk ice creams for a non-dairy option. Make sure you warm the crisp and then add a scoop of ice cream on top!
- For fewer dishes to wash, mix the fruit/cornstarch/maple syrup in the pan you’re going to bake the crisp in.
