A simple and satisfying peach crisp featuring juicy peaches beneath a crunchy oat topping, perfect for summer gatherings and easy to prepare.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 5–6 medium ripe peaches, peeled and sliced (about 4 cups)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (100g)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats (90g)
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour (95g)
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar (100g)
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter (75g), melted and slightly cooled
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, toss the sliced peaches with granulated sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, and flour. Let sit for 10 minutes to macerate.
  3. In another bowl, combine oats, flour, brown sugar, nutmeg (if using), and salt. Pour in melted butter and mix until evenly coated and crumbly but sticks together when pressed. Adjust texture with more butter or oats/flour if needed.
  4. Spread the peach mixture evenly in a 9-inch baking dish. Distribute the oat topping evenly over the peaches, gently pressing down to create a compact layer.
  5. Bake for 40-45 minutes until the topping is golden brown and peach filling is bubbling. If topping browns too quickly, loosely cover with foil for the last 10 minutes.
  6. Let the crisp rest for 15 minutes before serving to allow juices to thicken.

Notes

To avoid burning the oat topping, preheat the oven fully and monitor the crisp during the last 10 minutes of baking. Melt butter until liquid but not hot to keep oats crispy. If peaches are very juicy, add an extra tablespoon of flour to the filling. Do not stir the topping during baking to maintain a perfect crust. For dairy-free or vegan versions, substitute butter with coconut oil or vegan margarine and brown sugar with maple syrup. Use gluten-free oats and flour for gluten-free adaptation.
