Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium peaches, ripe but firm, halved and pitted (about 600g / 1.3 lbs)
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats (90g)
  • ⅓ cup all-purpose flour (40g)
  • ⅓ cup packed brown sugar (70g)
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (70g / 2.5 oz)
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional but recommended)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Vanilla bean ice cream or high-quality store-bought vanilla bean ice cream, for serving (about 1 pint / 475 ml)
  • A pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill to medium heat (about 375°F / 190°C). This usually takes 10-15 minutes depending on your grill type.
  2. Rinse and dry 4 medium peaches. Cut each in half and remove the pits. Brush the cut sides lightly with lemon juice to prevent browning and add brightness.
  3. Place peaches cut-side down on the grill grates or in your cast iron skillet placed directly on the grill. Grill for 4-5 minutes until you see nice grill marks and the fruit softens slightly but still holds shape. Remove from heat and transfer to your skillet if you grilled directly on the grates.
  4. In a bowl, combine 1 cup rolled oats, ⅓ cup all-purpose flour, ⅓ cup packed brown sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and a pinch of sea salt. Pour in 5 tablespoons melted butter and stir until mixture clumps together slightly. It should feel crumbly but hold if pressed.
  5. Scatter the crisp topping evenly over the grilled peaches in the skillet. Place the skillet back on the grill (not directly over the flame but on indirect heat if possible) and cook for another 10-12 minutes. The topping should turn golden brown and crispy, and the peaches will bubble with juices.
  6. Use a spatula to peek under the topping; if it’s nicely browned and the peaches are tender, it’s ready. If not, give it a couple more minutes but watch closely to avoid burning.
  7. Spoon the grilled peach crisp into bowls or straight from the skillet. Top generously with scoops of vanilla bean ice cream that will melt deliciously over the warm fruit.

Notes

Use medium heat to avoid burning the sugars. Move skillet to indirect heat for crisping the topping. Choose peaches that are ripe but firm to avoid mushiness. Melt butter but do not overheat. Lemon juice prevents browning and adds brightness. Topping can be prepared ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 2 days. For gluten-free, substitute almond flour and certified gluten-free oats. For dairy-free, use coconut oil and coconut milk-based vanilla ice cream.
