I recently hit Trader Joe’s since it is pink peonies season and I can’t resist the most beautiful flowers ever. As I was perusing and filling my cart full of fun goodies to try, I saw their fresh apricots. They looked perfectly orange and ripe, and I had to grab a few pounds to take home. I was so excited to make a super summery fresh apricot crisp with a buttery brown sugar crumble. It was absolutely heavenly and even way better than expected!

I whipped up this homemade apricot dessert in less than 10 minutes and then baked it until bubbly. It was so easy!

The fresh apricots have the perfect amount of natural sweetness and slight tart flavor. The crumble is made with butter, brown sugar, oats, and flour so it is a perfect balance. If you want to add a little crunch, add some sliced almonds.

I love to use fresh apricots and just pit them and cut them into bite-size pieces. Toss with sugar, almond extract, and cornstarch. If you want to add some warmth to this apricot cobbler, add a touch of cinnamon. 

The crisp topping is made by mixing together oats, flour, brown sugar, and melted butter. It is the easiest crumble recipe! I can’t wait to hear how you love this apricot dessert recipe!

    Wow! This is the best crisp I have ever made. I don’t usually like apricots either, but I have an apricot tree and have been trying to find different recipes to use them up. This is a winner! Thank you.

    I made this recipe tonight and it turned out remarkable! This is a 10/10.

    The two things I adjusted were the amount of apricots, it called for 10 and I used 18, and for the crumble I used 1.5 cups of brown sugar.

    This is a recipe I will return to time and time again.

    Bon appétit!

    The fresh apricot crisp turned out really well! I really love the oatmeal crisp topping. This is definitely a keeper recipe.

    Delicious!!! And super easy. I substituted pecans in the topping because I didn’t have any sliced almonds, & it was yummy! 😋

    I can’t wait to try this. I’ve never made a crisp with apricots, but such a great idea. Every recipe I make of yours is always a winner, so I’m sure this will be as well.
