Ingredients

Filling

  • 1.75-2 lbs nectarines about 4 cups sliced
  • 3 pints strawberries about 6 cups hulled
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 Tbsp butter diced plus 1 Tbsp. to butter pan
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1 Tbsp lemon juice

Crisp Topping

  • 1 stick 4 oz cold butter, cut into small pieces
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup flour
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9" x 13" baking dish.
  • To make the filling, cut the nectarines in half, and then cut them into 1/4 inch thick slices. Cut the stems off the berries and cut the large ones in half, leave the small ones whole. Put the fruit in a large bowl.
  • In a small bowl, combine the sugar and flour. Add the butter and lemon juice to the fruit in the large bowl and then sprinkle the sugar/flour mixture over it. Gently combine. It may look and feel a little "pasty," but as the fruit cooks it's going to release a lot of liquid which will thicken with the flour and butter.
  • For the crisp topping, cut the cold butter into small pieces, about 1/2". In a medium sized bowl, combine the brown sugar, flour, rolled oats and cinnamon. Add the butter and mix it together with your hands or a pastry cutter until the texture resembles a coarse meal. There should still be tiny pieces of butter so don't mash it all into one lump. Spread this over the filling.
  • Put the mixture into the baking dish. Cover with the crisp topping and bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes or until the top is nicely browned and the filling is bubbling. If the top gets brown too quickly, cover with foil until the last 5 or 10 minutes. Serve with ice cream, or as I did, a tart frozen yogurt.
