Description
This Peach Crisp recipe is a warm, comforting dessert featuring juicy, sliced peaches topped with a crunchy oat and brown sugar streusel. Baked to golden perfection, it’s a delightful treat served best with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for added richness.
Ingredients
Peach Filling
- 10 cups peaches, sliced (about 10 peaches)
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
Crisp Topping
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup light brown sugar, packed
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, diced
To Serve
- Vanilla ice cream (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch square baking dish or an 8×11-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Peach Mixture: Place the sliced peaches into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle with granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and cinnamon. Stir gently to combine and set aside to let the flavors meld.
- Make Streusel Topping: In a small bowl, mix together rolled oats, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, and salt. Cut in the diced unsalted butter using a fork or your hands until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Assemble and Bake: Evenly sprinkle the streusel topping over the peach mixture in the baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbly.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the peach crisp to cool for a few minutes after baking. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream if desired for a creamy contrast.
Notes
- For best flavor, use ripe, fresh peaches in season.
- You can substitute frozen peaches, but thaw and drain excess liquid before using.
- Adjust sugar based on peach sweetness and personal taste.
- The crisp topping can be made with butter substitutes to adjust dietary preferences.
- Serve promptly as leftovers can become soggy over time.
