Notes

  • Use ripe but firm nectarines and plums for the best texture.
  • No need to peel the nectarines or plums.
  • Fresh ginger adds brighter flavor than dried ginger.
  • If the fruit is very sweet, reduce the sugar slightly.
  • Chilled butter helps create a crisp and crumbly topping.
  • Allow the crisp to rest before serving so the filling can thicken.
  • Add chopped almonds or walnuts for extra crunch.
  • Can be made gluten-free by using certified gluten-free oats and flour alternatives.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Reheat in the oven to restore crispness.
  • Freeze baked crisp for up to 3 months.
  • Vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or Greek yogurt pair beautifully with this dessert.
