A simple and comforting summer dessert featuring juicy peaches beneath a golden, crunchy oat topping with cinnamon and brown sugar.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Peel and slice around 6 cups of ripe peaches. Toss them gently in a large bowl with 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Let sit for 5 minutes.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1 cup rolled oats, 1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar, and a pinch of salt. Cut in 6 tablespoons of cold unsalted butter using a pastry cutter or fingers until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract if using.
  4. Pour the peach mixture evenly into a 9×9-inch baking dish. Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the peaches.
  5. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and crisp and peach juices are bubbling around the edges. Tent with foil if topping browns too fast.
  6. Let the crisp cool for about 15 minutes before serving to allow the filling to thicken.

Notes

Use old-fashioned rolled oats for best crunch. Keep butter cold before cutting into topping. Don’t skip cornstarch to avoid soggy filling. Let crisp cool before serving for easier scooping. For gluten-free, substitute almond flour for all-purpose flour. For dairy-free, use coconut oil instead of butter. Add nuts like pecans for extra crunch if desired.
