Description

Blueberry nectarine crisp is the ultimate way to celebrate summer’s vibrant fruits—juicy blueberries, sweet nectarines, and a golden oat topping make this easy dessert a warm-weather favorite.


Ingredients

  • 4 ripe nectarines, sliced
  • 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional)
  • 3/4 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, toss nectarines and blueberries with lemon juice, zest, cinnamon, and cornstarch if using.
  3. Pour the fruit mixture into a glass or ceramic baking dish.
  4. In another bowl, combine oats, flour, brown sugar, and salt.
  5. Add cold butter cubes and cut in with a pastry cutter or fingers until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  6. Stir in nuts if using, then sprinkle topping evenly over the fruit without pressing down.
  7. Bake uncovered for 35–40 minutes, or until topping is golden and juices are bubbling.
  8. Cool for at least 15 minutes before serving to let the juices set.

Notes

For a gluten-free version, use certified GF oats and swap flour for almond or oat flour. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or chilled with yogurt for a lighter twist.
