Instructions
Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 8×8 baking dish or line it with parchment.
Make the Fruit Filling: In a large bowl, combine sliced peaches, 2 cups sliced strawberries, ¼ cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ¼ teaspoon salt. Stir gently until the fruit is evenly coated, then transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish.
Make the Oatmeal Crumble: In a medium bowl, mix ¾ cup rolled oats, ½ cup all-purpose flour, ⅓ cup brown sugar, ¼ teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon. Pour in the 6 tablespoons melted butter and stir until the mixture forms a crumbly texture. Fold in ¼ cup chopped nuts, if using.
Assemble and Bake: Evenly sprinkle the crumble mixture over the fruit. Bake for 35–45 minutes, or until the top is golden and the fruit is bubbling at the edges.
Cool and Serve: Let the crisp cool for at least 10–15 minutes before serving. Serve warm on its own or with a scoop of dairy-free vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
