Blueberry Peach Crisp Delight (Printable Version)

A comforting blend of blueberries and peaches topped with a crunchy oat mixture.

# What You'll Need:

→ Topping

01 - 2/3 cup old fashioned oats
02 - 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
03 - 1/3 cup granulated sugar
04 - 1/4 cup light brown sugar
05 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
06 - 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
07 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly

→ Filling

08 - 1.5 pounds ripe-firm fresh peaches (about 4 medium), peeled and chopped
09 - 3 cups fresh blueberries
10 - 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
11 - 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
12 - 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
13 - 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
14 - 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

# Step-by-Step Guide:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. In a bowl, combine oats, flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, salt, and cinnamon. Stir in the melted butter until fully incorporated. Place the mixture in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
02 - Gently combine peaches, blueberries, lemon juice, lemon zest, granulated sugar, flour, and vanilla extract in a large bowl. Transfer the fruit mixture into a 9x9 inch baking dish or equivalent.
03 - Evenly sprinkle the chilled topping over the fruit. Pinch pieces together to form small clusters for a crumbly texture.
04 - Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes, until the fruit is bubbling along the edges and the topping is golden brown.
05 - Allow the crisp to rest at room temperature for approximately 15 minutes to thicken the juices. Serve warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream.

# Additional Notes:

01 - Refrigerating the topping before baking helps achieve a crispier texture.
