Apples are quickly beginning to take over farmer’s markets around here. This past weekend, however, I managed to snag a few lone cartons of raspberries. And from my freezer, I grabbed some late August peaches. Together, they merged to form this delicious mason-jar-crips.
Crisps are so simple to make, and baking them straight in a jar makes for an equally easy presentation. I love how few of the ingredients really need to be measured, particularly compared to traditional baking. A spoonful of cinnamon here, a dash of ginger there — it’s really up to you.
If you can’t find berries (and didn’t save any summer peaches), I’m sure apples would work well here, too. Given the jar method, choose a softer apple and slice thinly. This way you ensure you’ll end up with a soft, perfect-for-ice-cream dessert. And an adorable one, too.

Ingredients
- For the fruit filling:
- -1 1/3 cup peaches, sliced
- -2/3 cup raspberries
- -2 Tbsp. brown sugar
- -2 Tbsp. + 1 tsp. white whole wheat flour
- -1/2 tsp. cinnamon
- -1/4 tsp. ground ginger
- -Dash of nutmeg, optional
- -1/4 tsp. vanilla
- -Dash of salt
- For the Streusel:
- -1/4 cup brown sugar
- -1/4 cup old-fashioned oats
- -3 Tbsp. cup white whole wheat flour
- -2 tbsp. nuts, chopped (I like to do half pecans, half walnuts)
- -Dash of salt
- -1/8 tsp. cinnamon
- -1 1/2 Tbsp. chilled unsalted vegan butter, cut into pieces
Directions
- Step 1
- Preheat oven to 375F.
- Step 2
- Combine fruit filling ingredients in a large bowl. Divide between two jars, leaving 1/2-inch of space for the streusel. (You can use more jars if you’d like, just make sure to keep an eye on them in the oven.)
- Step 3
- Combine the streusel ingredients in a separate bowl, using a fork to chop the butter into the dry ingredients. Sprinkle on top of each jar to fill to the top. (You may have a little left over, depending on how wide of a jar you use.)
- Step 4
- Bake 25-35 minutes, or until jar is bubbly and streusel is golden brown. Remove from oven. Let cool at least 15 minutes. Serve.
