There's nothing quite like a warm blueberry peach crisp to celebrate the best of summer produce! This easy dessert comes together quickly with sweet, juicy peaches and bursting blueberries, all topped with a golden, buttery oat crisp that's crunchy in all the right places.
I love chocolate as much as the next person, but when it comes to dessert, fruity recipes have my whole heart. And nothing captures the essence of summer quite like a bubbling, golden crisp made with fresh seasonal fruit. Crumbles and crisps are one of my favorite ways to highlight what's ripe and ready and right now, it's all about juicy peaches and plump, sweet blueberries.
This blueberry peach crisp is everything a summer dessert should be: bright, flavorful, and just the right amount of sweet. The fruit becomes jammy and rich as it bakes, while the oat topping crisps to golden perfection with a buttery crunch. Served warm with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream, it's an easy, irresistible treat that truly lets summer fruit shine.

Equipment
- 10 inch baking dish: I used this Le Creuset Stoneware Baking Dish (image below) for this recipe, butI have also made it in a 10 inch cast iron skillet or square baking pan.
- Mixing bowls
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Cutting board and knife
- Peeler (optional): You can totally do this with a regular knife or your favorite vegetable peeler. I love my Oxo Peeler!
Ingredients
- Fresh blueberries: I love making this recipe during blueberry season so I have always used fresh. I imagine you can substitute with frozen (although I have never tried it) but you would definitely want to defrost them first.
- Fresh peaches: Again, I have only made this using fresh summer peaches but I'm sure frozen would work. Like the blueberries be sure to thaw before baking.
- Lemon Juice
- Ground Nutmeg: Dried or freshly ground both work
- All-purpose flour
- White granulated sugar
- Light brown sugar
- Rolled oats
- Pecans: You could substitute walnuts if you prefer.
- Unsalted butter: Because this recipe calls for 6 tablespoon of butter I would stick with unsalted vs. salted. It'll be much easier to control the salt levels. However, if you only have salted butter just omit any added salt and be prepared for a slightly saltier crisp.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes! You can use frozen blueberries and peaches if fresh aren't available. No need to thaw, just toss them with the filling ingredients and bake as directed. You may need to add 5-10 minutes to the bake time to account for the extra moisture.
For the most part yes! I actually use this crumble / crisp topping for a variety of other fruity desserts. Feel free to experiment and find what you like best!
You can! Simply make the crisp according to the instructions up until baking.
Then wrap the pre-baked crisp in freezer safe packaging and freeze for up to 3-4 months. To serve, simply remove the crumble from the freezer and thaw in the fridge overnight. Then bake according to the original instructions.
Absolutely! You can assemble the crisp up to a day in advance and store it unbaked in the fridge. When ready to bake, pop it straight into the oven (you may need a few extra minutes of bake time). Leftovers also reheat well in the oven or microwave.
Of course. If your fruit is super ripe and sweet, you can reduce the sugar slightly in both the filling and topping without compromising flavor.

Recipe
Blueberry Peach Crisp
Ingredients
For the Fruit Filling
- 2.5 cups fresh blueberries
- 2.5 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
- 3 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup white granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- juice of ½ lemon approximately 1 tbsp
- pinch of salt
For the Crisp Topping
- ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup light brown sugar
- ¼ cup white granulated sugar
- ⅔ cup rolled oats
- ⅓ cup pecans, finely chopped
- 6 tablespoon cold unsalted butter, cubed
- pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. In a mixing bowl combine all fruit filling ingredients and mix to combine. Set aside and allow to rest for at least 5 minutes so the juices can release.
- In another mixing bowl combine remaining all-purpose flour, brown sugar, white granulated sugar, rolled oats and a pinch of salt. Stir to combine. Add in the cubed, cold unsalted butter. Use a pastry cutter (see about for alternative methods) and/or your hands to press or pinch the butter into the flour mixture until it is well incorporated and forms a crumbly texture.
- Prepare the bottom of a 10 inch casserole dish or cast iron skillet with a little butter. Stir the fruit mixture to incorporate the juices and pour into the baking dish. Sprinkle the flour and butter mixture evenly over the top of the fruit. Bake at 375 degrees F for about 40 minutes until the fruit is bubbly and the topping is crisp golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow to set for at least 5-10 minutes before serving. Serve hot with ice cream, custard, whipped cream, or simply on its own. Enjoy!
