Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 8x8 inch baking dish.
- Prepare the filling: In a large bowl, gently toss the sliced nectarines with the granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons of flour, lemon juice, and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon until evenly coated. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
- Prepare the topping: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the oats, 1/2 cup flour, brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and salt.
- Cut in the butter: Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry topping mixture. Use your fingertips or a pastry blender to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces remaining.
- Assemble and bake: Sprinkle the crisp topping evenly over the nectarine filling. Place the dish on a baking sheet (to catch any drips) and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly and tender.
- Let cool for at least 15 minutes before serving warm, preferably with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Notes
If nectarines are unavailable, peaches or firm plums work as excellent substitutes. For extra texture, add 1/4 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans to the crisp topping.
