Cuisine: American
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 4 cups mixed stone fruits (peaches, plums, cherries)
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure that your crisp cooks evenly and becomes golden brown.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the 4 cups of mixed stone fruits (such as peaches, plums, and cherries). Make sure to wash and slice the fruits into bite-sized pieces, removing any pits.
- Add 1/2 cup of sugar, 1 tablespoon of cornstarch, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the bowl with the stone fruits. Gently toss the mixture until the fruits are well coated with the sugar and cornstarch. The cornstarch will help thicken the juices as the fruits cook.
- Transfer the fruit mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly across the bottom.
- In a separate bowl, mix together 1 cup of rolled oats, 1/2 cup of almond flour, 1/2 cup of brown sugar, 1/4 cup of melted coconut oil, and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon. Stir until all the dry ingredients are well combined and the coconut oil is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Sprinkle the oat mixture evenly over the top of the prepared stone fruits in the baking dish. Make sure to cover the fruits completely for an even crisp texture.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling around the edges.
- Once done, remove the crisp from the oven and allow it to cool for about 10-15 minutes before serving. This will help the juices set slightly.
- Serve the Summer Stone Fruit Crisp warm, optionally topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra treat.
Tips
- Choose Perfectly Ripe Fruits: Select stone fruits that are fragrant and slightly soft to the touch for maximum flavor.
- Mix Your Fruits: Don't be afraid to experiment with different stone fruits - the combination of peaches, plums, and cherries creates a complex and delightful taste profile.
- Room Temperature Matters: Allow your fruits to come to room temperature before preparing to enhance their natural sweetness.
- Even Topping Distribution: When sprinkling the crisp topping, use your fingers to create some larger clumps for extra crunch and texture.
- Watch the Oven: Every oven is slightly different, so start checking your crisp at the 30-minute mark to prevent over-browning.
- Let it Rest: Allowing the crisp to cool for 10-15 minutes helps the juices set and makes serving easier.
- Serving Suggestion: A scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream can elevate this dessert from delicious to absolutely spectacular!
