A simple and comforting peach crisp featuring fresh peaches and a crunchy oat crumble topping, perfect for summer gatherings and easy to prepare.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 medium fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (about 2 pounds or 900 grams)
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar (65 grams)
  • ¼ cup packed brown sugar (50 grams)
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour (90 grams)
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats (90 grams)
  • ½ cup cold unsalted butter, diced (113 grams)
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish lightly with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. Peel the peaches by blanching them in boiling water for about 30 seconds, then plunging into ice water. Slice peaches into roughly ½-inch thick slices.
  3. Toss the sliced peaches gently in a bowl with granulated sugar, lemon juice, and cinnamon. Let sit for 10 minutes to macerate and release their juices.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine rolled oats, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, and salt.
  5. Add the diced cold butter and vanilla extract (if using). Use a pastry cutter or fingers to work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized bits. Do not overmix.
  6. Pour the peach mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading evenly.
  7. Sprinkle the oat crumble topping evenly over the peaches, covering them completely.
  8. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until the topping is golden brown and crisp, and the peach juices are bubbling around the edges.
  9. Let the crisp rest for at least 10 minutes before serving to thicken up.
  10. Serve warm, ideally with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

Keep butter cold and do not overmix the topping to ensure a crumbly texture. If topping browns too quickly, tent with foil halfway through baking. For overly juicy peaches, mix in 1 teaspoon cornstarch before baking. Peaches can be swapped with nectarines or plums. Frozen peaches can be used if thawed and drained well.
