Served warm right from the oven, this mouthwatering Blueberry Peach Crisp is one fruity recipe you'll find yourself making, again and again, all year round!
In a large mixing bowl, add the maple syrup, lemon juice, vanilla, cinnamon, thickener of choice, and water and whisk together well.
Add in the frozen fruit and stir until everything is coated well.
Line a 2 quart, 7 x 11 baking dish with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Pour the filling mixture into the baking dish and set it to the side while you prepare the crisp topping.
The Crisp Topping:
In a medium mixing bowl, add the peanut butter, maple syrup, cinnamon, vanilla, and salt, and whisk together well. It is best to use natural peanut butter which is thinner, but if your brand is thick, add 2-3 tablespoons of water to help thin it out.
Add in the oats and nuts and stir well.
Spread the oaty topping evenly over the fruit filling in your baking dish. Spread it all the way to the edges of the pan.
Place in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 45 minutes, checking at the 30-minute mark to see how it’s looking. You want the topping to be slightly browned and the filling to be bubbling up.
Remove from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes
Tips and variationsThough this recipe is pretty simple to make, here are a few tips and suggestions that might help.
Fruit variety- Don’t feel like you can only use blueberries and peaches because about any fruit will work for this crisp recipe. Some great ones to try are apples, blackberries, strawberries, and mango.
Fresh or frozen fruit- I like to use frozen fruit for convenience, but fresh also works great.
Peanut butter- Thin natural peanut butter works best. If your peanut butter is thick, simply add a few tablespoons of water to help thin it out. If you prefer not to use peanut butter, replace it with applesauce.
Storage and reheating suggestions
Refrigerate- Store this blueberry crisp covered airtight in the refrigerator for up to 5-7 days.
Reheat- If you have leftovers or made this in advance, simply place it back in the oven at 350°F for about 15-20 minutes depending on the number of leftovers that need to be heated.
Microwave- To reheat single servings, scoop out the amount desired and place in a microwave-safe dish. It should only take 30-60 seconds to reheat.
