Raspberry Crisp Recipe
We've all heard it said that opposites attract. Well, when it comes to desserts, my husband and I couldn't be more opposite. When we go to a frozen yogurt place, he will load his chocolate ice cream with peanut butter cups, fudge, chocolate chips, heath bar — and I will load my vanilla ice cream up with fruit and granola.
It's not that I don't like chocolate, trust me, I do. But when it comes to dessert, sometimes I just prefer something fruity and light, whereas my husband always prefers something chocolate.
So it's not a surprise to me that this peach raspberry crisp is a go-to dessert in our house. Fruit crisps are honestly one of these desserts where I don't count the amount of servings that I've had. It's fruit, they don't count, right?
I've talked about my love of the flavor combination of peaches and raspberries before. In fact, I had a little period of obsession a few weeks ago when I made these peach raspberry mini pies, and then this peach raspberry sangria. So combining raspberries and peaches for this recipe was a must.
It's an absolute requirement that you serve this peach raspberry crisp warmed up with ice cream, or "a la mode" because the pairing of vanilla bean ice cream and this crisp is basically my picture of summertime. You're gonna love it!

Ingredients
This peach raspberry crisp has my favorite crumb topping that is on my pecan pie crumble bars and pretty much all of my crisps. Here's a list of the topping ingredients and fresh fruit ingredients for the raspberry filling:
- raspberries
- sliced peaches
- all purpose flour
- vanilla extract
- granulated white sugar
- unsalted butter
- brown sugar
- rolled oats
Substitutions and Variations
I highly recommend using fresh raspberries and fresh peaches for the best flavor. However, you can also use frozen.
Change up the flavor of this crisp with different fresh berries or fruit! Strawberries, blueberries and apples would all be tasty.
Reduce the amount of refined sugar in this recipe and use coconut sugar, agave nectar, maple syrup or honey instead.
How to Make Raspberry Crisp
Follow these step-by-step instructions to make this delectable dessert:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C) and then spray a 9x 13 baking dish with non-stick cooking spray and set it to the side.
Immerse whole peaches into some boiling water for 30 seconds, and then immediately place them into cold water.
Peel the peaches and then cut them into chunks and place into a large bowl. Add ¼ cup granulated sugar, ½ cup brown sugar, and 2 tablespoons of flour. Toss well to coat.
Gently mix in the raspberries and allow the mixture to sit for 5 minutes. If there is a lot of liquid, mix in 1 more tablespoon of flour.
Pour the fruit mixture into the previously prepared dish and then prepare the crumble topping.
Combine flour, brown sugar and oats in a medium bowl until thoroughly incorporated.
Pour in the melted butter and stir ingredients together again. Break up larger chunks of the crumbly topping.
Sprinkle the topping evenly over top of the peaches and raspberries.
Bake for 1 hour, or until the top is golden brown and crisp, and the juices are bubbly. Serve this delicious dessert immediately with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream!
How to Store Leftover Raspberry Crisp
Cover the baking dish tightly with plastic wrap, or transfer leftover raspberry crisp to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can also freeze leftovers for up to 3 months! Allow to thaw before reheating.
For best results, reheat in the oven or toaster oven to get the crumble topping crispy again. You can also reheat in the microwave.
What to Serve with Raspberry Crisp
My number one serving recommendation is a big scoop of your favorite vanilla ice cream. But the next best option (or even use it with ice cream!) is some homemade whipped cream. Some coconut whipped cream is a good dairy free option too.
Serve this raspberry dessert after a hearty meal like chicken fajita tacos, grilled pork tenderloin, or cast iron skillet steak. It's a fantastic dessert after really any meal!
Tips for Success
Check out these few tips and tricks to ensure the best results:
- If you choose to use some different fruit in the filling, just make sure that you don't overload it so that it fits into the baking dish and there's plenty of topping!
- Don't forget that you can add some extra flour into the filling to help thicken up the excess juices from the fruit. This will ensure that the crisp isn't too watery!
- Let the crisp cool for a few minutes before serving. Leaving it to sit will allow the filling to settle a bit so it's easier to scoop and serve.
FAQ
You may not have used enough flour or cornstarch to thicken up the mixture. Just ensure that you use plenty so that the fruit mixture thickens and doesn't become watery when baked.
Absolutely! Just cover the baking dish in plastic wrap or transfer serving to an airtight container. Store in the fridge for a few days and reheat in the oven or toaster oven whenever you're ready to eat!
