Ingredients
Scale
Peach Filling
- 6 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (or thawed frozen peaches)
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Crisp Topping
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- â…” cup brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Filling: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl, combine the sliced peaches with granulated sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon. Toss gently to coat the peaches evenly and pour the mixture into a greased 9×9-inch baking dish.
- Make Crisp Topping: In a separate bowl, mix old-fashioned oats, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, salt, and cinnamon. Add the cold cubed butter, then use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend everything together until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Assemble and Bake: Evenly sprinkle the crisp topping over the peach mixture in the baking dish. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the crisp from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before serving. For extra indulgence, serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
- You can substitute nectarines or use a mix of stone fruits for the filling.
- If using canned peaches, drain them well and reduce the sugar in the filling to 2 tablespoons to avoid excess sweetness.
