It’s the most wonderful time of the year!
Wait, you thought that was Christmas? No way, guys. I’m 97.89% positive it’s June. I mean, think about it. The days stretch long and warm into the evenings. We break out the grill and gather round the campfire for s’more cookies. Fireflies light up our nights. Flowers add brightness and color to our walkways. And berries are bursting with all their juicy, jewel toned glory.
S’mores and ice cream, people. S’mores and ice cream. What more convincing do you need?
This is my favorite time of year. After a particularly long, cruel winter, these first few weeks of sunshine, sun dresses, and grilled Cajun Burgers feel especially extravagant. I’ve also always been partial to fruit desserts over chocolate desserts, and this season provides more than enough opportunity to indulge my cravings.
I’m not sure if there’s any dessert I love more than a simple fruit crisp. Warm fruit + buttery crumble + ice cream is my summer groove.
I adore a simple peach or apple blueberry crumble, but this strawberry, nectarine, and cherry combo is really something special. Each bite provides a little something different–a pop of sweet cherry, a little burst of tart nectarine, and then a bit of crunchy oatmeal topping.
Speaking of the topping, it’s so easy to make! I love a crumble that uses melted butter so you don’t have to bother with cutting cold butter into flour (one of my least favorite kitchen tasks). This one still gives you that great crumble texture but with less work.
Strawberry nectarine cherry crisp is heavenly served warm from the oven with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. The crisp will keep, covered, at room temperature for 2-3 days. Pop it back in the oven for 15-20 minutes to re-crisp the top.
Of course, you can swap fruits for what you have on hand. Peaches are a great stand-in for nectarines, and raspberries would also be absolutely lovely in this. I hope you’ll find your own perfect combination this summer!
