Equipment
- Baking Dish
Ingredients
- 6 cups fresh peaches peeled, pitted and sliced
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar for fruit filling
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch to thicken the filling
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon adds warmth to peach filling
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats for topping
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour for topping
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar for topping
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter cold and cubed, for topping
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a baking dish. In a large mixing bowl, gently toss the sliced peaches with sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until evenly coated. Spread the peach mixture into the prepared dish, ensuring an even layer.
- In a separate bowl, combine oats, flour, and brown sugar. Add the cold, cubed butter and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to work it in, creating a crumbly mixture with small pea-sized pieces.
- Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the peaches, covering the surface completely. Gently press down on the topping to help it adhere and create a uniform crust.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 40 minutes, or until the filling is bubbling around the edges and the topping is golden brown and crisp.
- Remove the peach crisp from the oven and let it cool slightly. The filling will thicken as it cools, and the aroma of baked peaches and cinnamon will fill your kitchen.
- Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for added richness.
Notes
To peel peaches easily, blanch them in boiling water for 30 seconds and then transfer to ice water. This helps remove skins effortlessly. Adjust sugar based on peach sweetness, and experiment with adding a splash of bourbon to the filling for added depth.
