Peach, Plum and Blueberry Crisp
Aug 2, 2012 by Julie
What’s more American than a Peach Crisp! There is nothing better than watching the Americans KICK some butt in the Olympics while eating this delectable treat! Here is my twist on a classic!
Preheat your oven to 350
You will need for the filling:
5 peaches cut into wedges
3 plums cut into wedges
1 pint of blueberries
1/2 cup of sugar
2 teaspoons of cinnamon
1/4 cup of flour + 1 tsp of corn starch
zest and juice of 1 lemon
You will need for the topping:
1 1/2 cups of flour
3/4 cup of sugar
3/4 cup of brown sugar
1 cup of oatmeal
1/2 tsp of salt
2 sticks of salted butter cubed and cold
Instructions:
Combine the peaches, plums, blueberries, sugar, flour+ cornstarch, cinnamon, lemon juice and zest in a large bowl. Toss well and set aside.
In another bowl combine the flour, sugar, brown sugar, salt and oatmeal. Mix well. Add the butter. I use my clean hands to mix the crisp topping. I find that to be the best way to combine all the ingredients.
Put the fruit filling into a pie plate or baking dish. With my hands I grab fists full of topping and squeeze it with my hands to form large crumbles. Cover the fruit completely using all of the topping.
Bake at 350 for 1 hour. Let cool for 20 minutes and serve warm with whipped cream or ice cream. I usually go for both!
