A simple and comforting peach crisp featuring fresh peaches baked under a crunchy cinnamon oat topping. Perfect for summer gatherings or a cozy dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 5–6 medium fresh peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for filling)
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for topping)
  • 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×9-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. Peel (if desired), pit, and slice 5-6 medium peaches into roughly 1/2-inch thick slices. Place them in a mixing bowl.
  3. Add 1/3 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice to the peaches. Toss gently to coat evenly without breaking the slices. Let sit for about 10 minutes.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1 cup rolled oats, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
  5. Add 6 tablespoons cold, cubed unsalted butter and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional) to the dry ingredients.
  6. Cut the butter into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter, fork, or fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized bits of butter.
  7. Pour the peach mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading evenly.
  8. Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the peaches without pressing down.
  9. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling around the edges.
  10. Remove from oven and let cool for at least 15 minutes before serving to thicken the juices.
  11. Serve warm, optionally topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

Use firm, ripe peaches for best texture. Cold butter is key for a crumbly topping. Let the peach filling macerate for 10 minutes before baking. If topping browns too quickly, tent with foil. For gluten-free, substitute flour and oats accordingly. Optional nuts can be added to topping for extra crunch.
