Ingredients
  

4 large ripe peaches, sliced into wedges

2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and halved

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/3 cup packed brown sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

Vanilla ice cream (for serving)

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking.

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced peaches and halved strawberries. Sprinkle the granulated sugar and drizzle the fresh lemon juice over the fruit. Gently toss the fruit mixture to ensure it is well coated. Once mixed, transfer the fruit to a greased 9x13 inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

      In a separate bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, packed brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt until well blended. Pour the melted unsalted butter over this dry mixture. Stir until the mixture becomes crumbly and all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

        Take the crumbly oat mixture and evenly distribute it over the top of the fruit layer in the baking dish, ensuring an even coverage for optimal crispiness.

          Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes. Keep an eye on it; you want the top to turn golden brown and for the fruit to be bubbling around the edges.

            Once baked, remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes to set slightly before serving.

              Serve the warm peach and strawberry crisp in bowls, topped with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful contrast of temperatures and flavors!
