Time 1h5m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 part all-purpose flour (we used 1/2 cup)
1/2 part brown sugar (we used 1/4 cup)
Pinch cinnamon
Pinch salt
1 part cold unsalted butter in cubes (we used 1/2 cup)
1 part rolled oats (we used 1/2 cup)
About 6 parts fruit (we used 3 cups sliced peaches, or about 8 peaches; see Cook's Note)
1 teaspoon cornstarch per 1 cup fruit (we used 3 teaspoons)
Granulated sugar, depending on the sweetness/ripeness of the fruit
Lemon zest, if desired

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
For the crisp: Mix together the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt in a bowl. Using a pastry blender, 2 knives or a food processor, cut in the butter. Stir in the oats.
For the fruit: Toss the fruit with the cornstarch, granulated sugar as needed and the lemon zest if using.
Transfer the fruit mixture to a baking dish and top with the crisp mixture. Bake until the middle is warmed through and the top is crispy and golden brown, 50 to 55 minutes.
