If you’re looking for a super easy, but fabulous summer dessert and don’t mind your oven being on for a short bit of time, you can’t go wrong with this Blackberry-Peach Crisp recipe.
This mouth-watering treat easily comes together by mixing together the two fruits with a few other ingredients, then sprinkled with a simple oat topping instead of drop biscuits. Pop it in the oven and about 30 minutes later you’ll be in Heaven with every spoonful.
Ingredients Needed
Here’s what you’ll need to make this recipe:
(Scroll below to the printable recipe card for details and measurements.)
- Blackberries – Plump ripe blackberries pair perfectly with peaches.
- Peaches – Fresh ripe peaches that are cored and sliced into pieces (about the size of the blackberries.) No need to peel unless you prefer to.
- Flour – This helps thicken up the fruit filling as it bakes and also used in the oat topping.
- Granulated sugar – Needed to sweeten the dessert. The amount can be reduced slightly if your fruit is naturally very sweet.
- Vanilla – For flavor.
- Cinnamon – Adds homey aromatic smells and warm flavor.
- Salt – To balance the other flavors.
- Crisp topping – Rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, and cold cubed butter are combined for the topping.
- For serving – While not required, we always enjoy this dessert with some vanilla ice cream!
How to Make Blackberry-Peach Recipe Crisp
This is truly one of the easiest desserts. Just mix, dump, and bake.
(Scroll below to the printable recipe card for complete details and watch the video.)
- Make the filling. Toss together the blackberries, peaches, some of the flour, granulated sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt. Transfer to a greased 8 or 9 inch baking dish
- Make the topping. Mix together the remaining flour, brown sugar, and rolled oats. Cut in the butter with your hands until crumbly; sprinkle over the fruit mixture.
- Bake. Transfer to the oven and bake at 350F until the fruit is tender and juices are thick and bubbling around edges, and the topping is golden.
- Serve. Let cool for about 10 minutes then enjoy warm with some vanilla ice cream!
Tips and Variations
- Old-fashioned oats are a must. Instant or quick oats will not give the desired texture so make sure you use old-fashioned rolled oats in this recipe.
- Cut peaches the same size as the blackberries. For even cooking, try to cut the peaches about the same size as the blackberries.
- Try a different berry. The blackberries can be swapped with raspberries, blueberries, to sliced strawberries if preferred. Note that cooking time might need to be adjusted.
- Use frozen fruit. When fresh fruit isn’t in season, frozen fruit can be used for a convenient year-round dessert. They do not need to be thawed, however the cooking time should be increased some.
- Add pecans or walnuts. For some extra crunch, you can add some chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts to your crisp.
- Use aluminum foil to prevent over-browning. If you notice the topping beginning to brown before the fruit is finished, you can cover it with aluminum foil and return it to the oven to finish baking.

Proper Storage
- Fridge. Allow any leftovers to cool completely, then transfer to an airtight container (or cover the baking dish tightly) and store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- Freezer. You can freeze blackberry-peach crisp, either before or after baking. You can bake it from frozen or allow it to thaw in the fridge first. Keep in mind that baking it from frozen will require extra time. It will keep in the freezer tightly wrapped in plastic and again in foil for up to 3 months.
- Reheat. Briefly reheat portions of the crisp in a microwave, in a microwave safe bowl until warmed through.
