Nectarine Plum Crisps are a classic summer dessert featuring juicy nectarines and sweet-tart plums baked beneath a buttery oat streusel topping. This easy fruit crisp is packed with seasonal flavor, warm cinnamon, and a golden crunchy topping that pairs perfectly with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups nectarines, sliced
  • 4 cups plums, sliced
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup old-fashioned oats
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar (for streusel)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for streusel)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  3. Wash, pit, and slice the nectarines and plums.
  4. Place the fruit in a large mixing bowl.
  5. Add granulated sugar, brown sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and cinnamon.
  6. Toss until the fruit is evenly coated.
  7. Transfer the fruit mixture to the prepared baking dish.
  8. In a separate bowl, combine oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
  9. Add the cold cubed butter.
  10. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the mixture until coarse crumbs form.
  11. Sprinkle the streusel evenly over the fruit.
  12. Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling around the edges.
  13. Remove from the oven and allow the crisp to cool for 10 to 15 minutes.
  14. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or yogurt if desired.

Notes

  • Use ripe but firm nectarines and plums for the best texture.
  • No need to peel the nectarines before baking.
  • Old-fashioned oats create a crispier topping than quick oats.
  • Keep the butter cold to ensure a crumbly streusel texture.
  • Add chopped pecans, walnuts, or almonds for extra crunch.
  • Frozen fruit may be used if thawed and drained first.
  • Allow the crisp to rest before serving so the filling can thicken.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Reheat individual servings in the microwave or oven.
  • Freeze baked crisp for up to 3 months.
  • Gluten-free flour and certified gluten-free oats may be substituted.
  • Serve with vanilla ice cream for a classic summer dessert experience.
