Strawberry Peach Crisp Ingredients
A complete list of ingredients and amounts can be found in the recipe card below.
Oats: Add a hearty texture to the crisp topping. Old-fashioned oats take longer to cook which means they will give a chewier result. These are also known as rolled or whole oats. Steel-cut oats take even longer to cook and will offer the chewiest texture. You can use quick-cooking oats but don’t use instant oats because they will just disintegrate and your crisp won’t come out… crisp!
Brown sugar: Sweetens the topping with rich molasses notes.
All purpose flour: Helps bind the topping and adds structure.
Spices: Cinnamon brings warmth and enhances the fruit’s sweetness.
Unsalted butter: Adds richness and helps the topping turn golden.
Strawberries: Sweet and juicy, they bring a burst of flavor and color.
Peaches: Tender and fruity, perfect paired with berries.

Make it gluten free: Use a gluten free all purpose flour.
Add crunch: Mix in chopped pecans or almonds to the topping.

Strawberry Crisp with Peaches FAQs
A crisp is like a cobbler or crumble but not quite the same. It’s a baked dessert with an oat-based topping. A crumble would have a thick streusel topping made with ingredients like flour, butter and sugar. A cobbler, on the other hand, will have dollops of biscuit dough or similar on top.
The dessert takes around 35 or 40 minutes depending on your oven and whether you’ve used a deep or shallow dish. When it’s piping hot in the middle and the topping is golden brown, it’s done.
Peeling is optional. Leave the skin on for texture or peel for a smoother finish.

The strawberry and peach crisp is my new favorite dessert! So fresh and easy to make.
Should the peaches be thawed first before assembling?
Hi Melissa, thawed is best and I prefer to thaw mine on paper towels because frozen fruit can hold on to a lot of water and you don’t want to risk a soggy crisp! I reworded the recipe to make it clearer. Enjoy!
This looks fabulous!
peach and strawberry is my favorite combination. yum!
