A simple and comforting peach crisp featuring ripe peaches and a crunchy oat topping with brown sugar and cinnamon, perfect for summer gatherings and quick desserts.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 5–6 medium fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (100g)
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar (50g)
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour (90g), divided
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats (90g)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (113g), cold and cut into small pieces
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Prepare the peaches by scoring an ‘X’ on the bottom, blanching in boiling water for 30 seconds, then plunging into ice water to loosen the skin. Peel and slice peaches into 1/2-inch thick wedges.
  3. Toss sliced peaches in a large bowl with granulated sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons (15g) of flour. Set aside for 10 minutes to macerate.
  4. In a medium bowl, combine rolled oats, brown sugar, remaining 3/4 cup (90g) flour, cinnamon, and salt.
  5. Add cold, cubed unsalted butter to the oat mixture. Use a pastry cutter or fingers to mix until coarse crumbs form with some pea-sized bits.
  6. Transfer the peach mixture into a greased 8×8-inch baking dish, spreading evenly.
  7. Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the peaches.
  8. Bake for 40-45 minutes until the topping is golden brown and crispy and the peaches are bubbling around the edges. Tent with foil halfway through if topping browns too quickly.
  9. Let the crisp cool for at least 15 minutes before serving to thicken the filling and maintain crunch.

Notes

Use firm peaches to avoid a watery filling. Cold butter is essential for a crumbly topping. Lemon juice brightens the peach flavor. Let the crisp rest before serving to thicken the filling. For gluten-free, substitute all-purpose flour with almond flour. For vegan, replace butter with coconut oil and brown sugar with maple syrup. Optional nuts can be added to the topping for extra crunch.
