My all-time favorite dessert is a fruit crisp topped with vanilla ice cream, and there’s no better filling than fresh peaches with bursts of sweet, red raspberries. Crisps are among the loosest, easiest desserts to pull off in a hurry, especially if you keep some of the topping ready in the fridge. It will store well in an air-tight container for a week or more.
This crisp is easy to vary. Try blueberries instead of raspberries. Nectarines instead of peaches. Or a mound of mixed berries, such as raspberries, strawberries and blackberries.
