Ingredients
Scale
- 6 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1/3 cup sliced or chopped almonds (optional)
- Vanilla bean ice cream (store-bought or homemade)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Peel and slice about 6 cups of fresh peaches into 1/2-inch thick slices. Toss them in a large bowl with 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Let sit for 10 minutes.
- In a medium bowl, combine 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, 3/4 cup rolled oats, 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, and 1/3 cup sliced almonds. Add the cold, cubed butter and cut it in with a pastry cutter or two forks until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces.
- Pour the peach mixture into a 9×13 inch baking dish, scraping in all juices. Evenly sprinkle the oat topping over the peaches.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes until the topping is golden brown and peach juices bubble around the edges. If topping browns too quickly, loosely cover with foil after 30 minutes.
- Let the crisp cool for about 10 minutes to thicken the juices.
- Serve warm with a generous scoop of vanilla bean ice cream on top.
Notes
If peaches are very juicy, add 1 tablespoon cornstarch to the fruit mixture before baking to prevent sogginess. Let the crisp rest 10 minutes before serving to thicken juices. Use cold butter for a flaky topping. Tent with foil if topping browns too fast. For gluten-free, substitute flour with almond or gluten-free flour. For dairy-free, use coconut oil and plant-based ice cream.
