Peach Cherry Crisp
Sweet, juicy peaches and cherries baked under a buttery oat topping — this Peach Cherry Crisp is the easiest summer dessert! Perfectly crisp on top, bubbling underneath, and made with ripe summer fruit, it’s a celebration of peak summer flavor in every bite.
Let’s talk about crisps. As much as I love pie, when fresh fruit is at its prime, crisps and crumbles are always my go-to. It’s less fuss, more fruit, and honestly? Just as good. This Peach Cherry Crisp comes together in minutes (no chilling, rolling, or fancy equipment!) and is still fancy enough for any summer gathering.
The tart cherries balance the sweetness of the peaches, and if you want to take it even further, try adding a splash of bourbon in the filling. Serve this crisp warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, or even a dollop of Greek yogurt, making this a perfect breakfast-for-dessert option.
And if peaches and cherries aren’t what you have on hand? No problem! This is a flexible recipe – nectarines, plums, apricots, berries – pretty much any fruit that’s juice and ripe will work. (I made a blueberry cherry version to bring to dinner with friends last weekend!).
The best part? You don’t even need to peel the fruit! This is a dump-and-bake recipe you’ll want to make on repeat all summer long.
