Our produce drawers and fruit bowls stay pretty well stocked in the summer. If there’s any good reason to endure the blazing summer heat, it’s definitely for all the delicious produce it brings. I’m convinced that I could totally live off watermelon, sweet berries, and summer squash if it ever came down to it.
I had an abundance of fruit in the fridge—some mixed berries, and a variety of peaches. A great way to use up sweet, extra ripe fruit is to make a simple crisp for dessert! It’s easy to throw together and makes such a yummy evening treat.
Especially with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
The one thing I love about fruit crisps and cobblers is that you can pretty much use any fruit you’d like—berries, peaches, cherries, plums, apples…the possibilities are endless!
You can make this dessert year round by using frozen fruit too! Depending on the sweetness of your fruit, just add a little more or less sweetener, to taste.
Enjoy!

SUMMER FRUIT CRISP so great ….
Gorgeous photos! I usually make my crisps and cobblers in the crock pot during the summer because my husband worries about the oven heating the house 🙂 Great post
I love crisps and cobblers in this season! They are so light and delicious and easy to make! Your crisp which is refined sugar free and butter free looks so good! One of these days I will have to make it without butter !!
I absolutely LOVE fruit crisp (peach crisp would definitely have to be m fave)! This is such a fun, Summery recipe – it’s kind of making me sad that we’re currently in the middle of Winter here in Australia. Nonetheless, I’m saving this recipe for a Summer day. 🙂
Christie’s Take on Life. xx
Australia sounds like such a wonderful place. We definitely want to visit there. Thanks for saving the recipe Christie!
What a great way to use up the fruit. I love crisps with strawberry and rhubarb. Blueberry and peach would be worth trying.
Wow, this looks amazing! My family and I love berry crisps so this would be a perfect dessert for us to enjoy! I will definitely try this!
Thank you Kait! I’m so glad to hear you’re willing to try this out. Enjoy
