Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 medium fresh peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (50g)
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice (15ml)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (60g)
  • 3/4 cup rolled oats (75g)
  • 1/3 cup packed brown sugar (65g)
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces (85g)
  • A pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Peel, pit, and slice about 6 medium peaches into roughly 1/2-inch thick slices. Place them in a mixing bowl.
  3. Sprinkle 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/2 cup all-purpose flour over the sliced peaches. Toss gently until the fruit is evenly coated.
  4. Transfer the peach mixture to your baking dish and spread evenly.
  5. In a separate bowl, combine 3/4 cup rolled oats, 1/3 cup packed brown sugar, and a pinch of salt. Add 6 tablespoons cold, diced unsalted butter.
  6. Cut the butter into the oat mixture using a pastry cutter, fork, or fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized bits.
  7. Spread the oat topping evenly over the peaches without pressing down.
  8. Bake in the oven for 40-45 minutes until the topping is golden brown and peach juices are bubbling.
  9. Let the crisp cool slightly for about 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

If topping browns too quickly, tent loosely with foil halfway through baking. For gluten-free, substitute all-purpose flour with almond or gluten-free flour. For dairy-free, use coconut oil or vegan butter instead of butter. Let crisp rest 10 minutes before serving for best texture.
