Essential Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:
- Fresh Peaches: Choose ripe peaches that yield slightly to pressure for the best sweetness and texture.
- Fresh Raspberries: Opt for firm berries with vibrant color; they add both tartness and visual appeal.
- Granulated Sugar: This helps balance the tartness of the berries; adjust based on your sweetness preference.
- Brown Sugar: Adds depth and richness to the topping; use light brown sugar for a milder flavor.
- All-Purpose Flour: Keeps the crumble topping together while providing a nice texture.
- Old-Fashioned Oats: Provides crunchiness; don’t substitute with quick oats as they will become mushy.

Let’s Make It Together
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish to ensure nothing sticks. Set aside.
Prepare the Fruit Filling: In a large bowl, combine sliced peaches and fresh raspberries. Sprinkle with granulated sugar and toss gently until evenly coated. Let it rest while you prepare the topping.
Create the Topping: In another bowl, mix together flour, brown sugar, old-fashioned oats, cinnamon, and salt until well combined. Cut in cold butter using pastry cutters or your fingers until crumbly.
Assemble Your Crisp: Pour the fruit mixture into your prepared baking dish evenly. Sprinkle the oat topping generously over the fruit, ensuring even coverage.
Bake It Up: Place in your preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes or until the top is golden brown and juices are bubbling around the edges.
Cool and Serve: Remove from oven and let cool for about 10 minutes before serving. Pair it with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream if you’re feeling extra indulgent!
