Raspberry Peach Crisp

I love the flavor combination of raspberries and peaches. The tartness of the raspberries offsets the sweetness of the peaches, and it is just sublime. Homemade raspberry peach jam is one of my favorites. So yummy!

I’d never made a raspberry peach crisp before, so I thought I’d give it a try. I figured if the jam was good, the crisp probably would be. I’m not normally a huge fan of cooked peaches, but with the raspberries added to the crisp, I loved it!  A lot. I am drooling just thinking about it. Not only was it tasty, but it was such a beautiful rosy color. You should take advantage of fresh peaches while you still have a chance.

Please promise me that you will serve it with vanilla ice cream. Because Raspberry Peach Crisp (or any type of crisp for that matter) without a scoop of ice cream on it just looks so naked on the plate. It is just beggin’ to be dressed up. So go ahead, cover it up. You know you want to. 🙂

Raspberry Peach Crisp

Filling:
4-5 peaches, peeled and sliced
zest of 1/2 an orange
1/3 cup sugar (heaping)
2 cups raspberries
3 Tbsp flour

Topping:
3/4 cup oats
1 cup flour
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/8 tsp salt
1/2 cup butter, slightly softened

For filling: Combine peaches, zest, sugars, and raspberries. Let sit for 5 minutes. Stir in 1-2 Tbsp of flour, depending on how runny the mixture is. Pour into a casserole dish. For topping: Combine all ingredients but butter. Cut the butter in until the mixture is crumbly. Sprinkle over the fruit. Bake at 375° for about 30-40 minutes or till filling is bubbly and topping is lightly browned. Serve with vanilla ice cream.
