A warm, comforting dessert combining juicy nectarines and tart raspberries topped with a buttery oat crisp, perfect served with vanilla ice cream.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4–5 ripe nectarines, pitted and sliced
  • 2 cups fresh or frozen raspberries
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 3/4 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (or almond flour for gluten-free)
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cut into small cubes
  • Vanilla ice cream for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×9-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. In a large bowl, combine sliced nectarines and raspberries. Add granulated sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and cornstarch. Toss gently until fruit is evenly coated. Let sit for 5–10 minutes.
  3. In a medium bowl, mix rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Add cold cubed butter and cut into dry ingredients using a pastry cutter or fingertips until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Pour the fruit mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish. Spread the oat topping evenly over the fruit layer without packing it down.
  5. Bake for 35–40 minutes until topping is golden brown and fruit filling is bubbling. Tent with foil if topping browns too quickly.
  6. Let the crisp rest for about 10 minutes outside the oven to thicken the juices.
  7. Serve warm with generous scoops of vanilla ice cream on top.

Notes

Keep butter cold for a crisp topping. Do not thaw frozen raspberries before mixing to keep filling juicy. Use cornstarch to thicken fruit juices and prevent sogginess. Tent with foil if topping browns too fast. Let crisp rest before serving for easier scooping. For gluten-free, substitute all-purpose flour with almond flour. For vegan, use coconut oil instead of butter and dairy-free vanilla ice cream.
