A quick and easy peach crisp featuring ripe peaches and a buttery brown sugar oat topping, perfect for summer gatherings and weeknight desserts.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 5–6 ripe peaches, peeled and sliced (about 6 cups)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 3/4 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (or almond flour for gluten-free option)
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and diced (or coconut oil for dairy-free)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Peel peaches by blanching in boiling water for 30 seconds, then plunge into ice water. Slice peaches into 1/2-inch thick pieces.
  3. Toss sliced peaches with granulated sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and cornstarch in a large bowl until evenly coated.
  4. Pour the peach mixture into a prepared 8×8 inch baking dish, spreading evenly.
  5. In another bowl, combine oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
  6. Cut in the cold diced butter using a pastry cutter or fingers until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  7. Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the peach filling.
  8. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes until topping is golden brown and peach filling is bubbling. Check at 35 minutes and tent with foil if topping browns too fast.
  9. Let the crisp cool for about 15 minutes before serving.

Notes

Use cold butter for the topping to ensure a crumbly texture. If peaches are very juicy, increase cornstarch to 3 teaspoons to avoid a watery filling. Tent with foil if topping browns too quickly. Frozen peaches can be used if thawed and drained well.
