A warm, comforting stone fruit crisp featuring peaches and plums with a fragrant cardamom oat topping. Easy to make and perfect for cozy autumn evenings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups peaches, sliced (about 3 medium peaches; ripe but firm for best texture)
  • 3 cups plums, pitted and sliced (around 4 medium plums; mix of sweet and tart if possible)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (adjust based on fruit sweetness)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1/3 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (room temperature; dairy-free butter or coconut oil for vegan option)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, toss the sliced peaches and plums with granulated sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and cornstarch. Let sit for 10 minutes.
  3. Transfer the fruit mixture to a 9-inch baking dish, spreading evenly to about 1.5 to 2 inches thick.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine rolled oats, almond flour, brown sugar, cardamom, cinnamon, and salt. Stir well.
  5. Gradually add melted butter to the oat mixture and mix until the oats are coated and the mixture holds together slightly when pressed.
  6. Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the fruit layer without pressing down.
  7. Bake for 35-40 minutes until the fruit is bubbling and the topping is golden brown. Tent with foil if topping browns too fast.
  8. Cool slightly before serving to allow the filling to thicken.

Notes

Use ripe but firm stone fruits to avoid mushy filling. Freshly ground cardamom enhances aroma. Melted butter should be warm, not hot. Let crisp rest 10-15 minutes before serving. For vegan version, substitute butter with coconut oil and brown sugar with maple syrup. Leftovers keep well refrigerated for 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months. Reheat in oven to maintain topping crispness.
