A simple and quick peach crisp featuring juicy fresh peaches and a crunchy brown sugar oat topping, perfect for summer gatherings or a cozy dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 5–6 large fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (about 4 cups)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Peel peaches and slice into 1/2-inch thick wedges.
  2. Toss sliced peaches with granulated sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and cornstarch in a mixing bowl. Mix gently until coated and set aside.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
  4. Cut in cold cubed butter using a pastry cutter or two forks until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized bits.
  5. Optional: Toast oat mixture in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, then cool slightly.
  6. Transfer peach mixture to a 9×9-inch baking dish and spread evenly.
  7. Sprinkle oat topping evenly over peaches.
  8. Bake on middle rack for 35-40 minutes until topping is golden brown and peach filling is bubbly.
  9. If topping browns too quickly, tent with foil halfway through baking.
  10. Let cool for at least 15 minutes before serving.
  11. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

Keep butter cold for a crumbly topping. If peaches are very juicy, add up to 2 tablespoons cornstarch to prevent runny filling. Tent with foil if topping browns too fast. Frozen peaches can be used if thawed and drained. For dairy-free, substitute butter with coconut oil or plant-based margarine. Adding nuts like pecans or walnuts to topping adds extra crunch.
