Scale
Essentials:
- 1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
- 3/4 cup brown sugar (divided: 1/2 cup for topping, 1/4 cup for syrup)
- 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup salted butter, melted
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 2 1/2 cups fresh peaches (about 3, peeled and sliced)
- 1 cup sliced strawberries
- 3 tsp cornstarch
- 1/3 cup water
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Optional Add-Ons:
- Chopped pecans or walnuts
- Extra berries (like blueberries or raspberries)
- Shredded coconut
Substitutions:
- Use quick oats for a softer texture
- Unsalted butter with extra pinch of salt
- Granulated sugar + molasses for brown sugar
- Whole wheat flour for added fiber
Instructions
- Preheat: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Make Topping: In a bowl, mix oats, 1/2 cup brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon. Stir in melted butter until crumbly.
- Layer Base: Lightly grease a 9×9 inch pan. Press half of the crumb mixture into the bottom of the pan.
- Add Fruit: Spread sliced peaches and strawberries evenly over the crumb base.
- Make Syrup: In a small saucepan, combine 1/4 cup brown sugar, cornstarch, salt, and water. Stir constantly over medium-high heat until thickened. Remove from heat and add vanilla extract.
- Assemble: Pour syrup over the fruit, then sprinkle remaining crumb mixture on top.
- Bake: Bake in preheated oven for 35 minutes until topping is golden and filling is bubbly.
- Broil (Optional): For a crispier top, broil for 2-3 minutes, watching closely.
- Cool & Serve: Let cool slightly before serving. Great with vanilla ice cream!
Notes
- Use ripe, juicy peaches for the best flavor.
- This recipe is great with frozen fruit too—just thaw and drain before use.
- Add a squeeze of lemon juice for a bit of brightness if your fruit is very sweet.
