Description
This Nectarine Crisp is a warm and comforting summer dessert made with juicy fresh nectarines and topped with a buttery oat crumble. The sweet-tart fruit filling and golden crisp topping create the perfect balance of flavor and texture, especially when served warm with vanilla ice cream.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 large nectarines, sliced
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
- Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and lightly grease a 9-inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, combine sliced nectarines, honey, vanilla extract, flour, cinnamon, and salt. Toss gently until evenly coated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt for the topping.
- Add the cold butter pieces to the topping mixture and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to blend until coarse crumbs form.
- Spread the nectarine filling evenly into the prepared baking dish.
- Sprinkle the oat crumble topping evenly over the nectarines.
- Place the baking dish on a baking sheet and bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
- Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream if desired.
Notes
- Use ripe but slightly firm nectarines for the best texture.
- Keep the butter cold to achieve a crisp and crumbly topping.
- Old-fashioned rolled oats work best for texture; avoid instant oats.
- You can substitute peaches or add berries for variation.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- Reheat in the oven for a crispier topping.
