Ingredients

For filling:

6-7 ripe peaches
1 ½ cups cherries pitted
⅓ cup granulated sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
Zest of 1 lemon
Juice of 1 lemon
3 tbsp cornstarch

For crisp:

½ cup brown sugar
¾ cup all-purpose flour
½ cup rolled oats
1 tsp cinnamon
1 ½ kosher salt
½ cup cold unsalted butter, shredded
Vanilla ice cream for serving

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F.
To make the filling: In a large bowl, combine all fruit, sugar as needed, cinnamon, lemon zest, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Stir well and let fruit macerate while making the crumble topping.
To make the topping, in a separate medium bowl, combine the brown sugar, flour, oats, cinnamon, salt, and butter. Crumble together with your hands or with a pastry blender, until mixture is sandy and crumbles are about a nickel size.
Transfer fruit mixture to a medium casserole dish or cast-iron frying pan. Top evenly with crumble topping and bake uncovered for 35–45 minutes, or until top is golden brown and fruit is bubbly on the edges. Serve warm, with a scoop of ice cream.

Notes

Note: Using a cheese grater to grate your butter helps your crumble topping come together in five minutes or less!

Entertaining Tip: You can assemble the crisp ahead of time, wrap it up tightly, and refrigerate until baking the morning of or the night
