Ingredients
Peach Filling
- 6 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (or use frozen/thawed or canned, drained)
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Crisp Topping
- ¾ cup old-fashioned oats
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup brown sugar, packed
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into cubes
Instructions
- Prepare the oven and baking dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×9-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Mix the peach filling: In a large bowl, gently combine the sliced peaches, granulated sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, and vanilla extract. Toss carefully to coat the fruit evenly, then pour this mixture into the prepared baking dish.
- Make the crisp topping: In a separate bowl, stir together the oats, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt. Add the cold butter cubes, then use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs.
- Assemble and bake: Evenly sprinkle the oat topping over the peach mixture in the baking dish. Place in the oven and bake for 35–40 minutes, until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbly.
- Cool and serve: Allow the peach crisp to cool slightly before serving. For an extra special touch, serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or some whipped cream if desired.
Notes
- You can substitute nectarines or a mix of berries for variety and a fun twist on this recipe.
- If using canned peaches, reduce the added sugar in the filling to prevent the dessert from becoming too sweet.
