Make this comforting peach crisp using fresh or canned peaches. The filling is sweet and juicy, topped with a simple, buttery oat crumble that bakes up perfectly crisp.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 cups fresh or canned sliced peaches (drained if canned)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • For the Topping:
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup rolled oats (old-fashioned)
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking dish or a similar sized oven-safe dish.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the peaches, granulated sugar, lemon juice, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, nutmeg, and 1/4 cup flour. Toss gently until the peaches are evenly coated.
  3. Pour the peach mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it into an even layer.
  4. Prepare the buttery oat topping: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the 1 cup flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and salt.
  5. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips. Work the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces of butter remaining. Do not overmix.
  6. Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the peach filling in the baking dish.
  7. Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbly around the edges.
  8. Remove the peach crisp from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • If you use canned peaches, reduce the added granulated sugar by 1/4 cup, as canned peaches are often pre-sweetened.
  • For the best texture, serve this dessert warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of heavy cream.
  • You can make the topping mixture ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to two days before using.
