Equipment
- 9-inch baking dish
- Peeler & knife
- Measuring cups/spoons
- Spatula & spoon
Ingredients
- 4-6 large ripe peaches peeled and sliced
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice to brighten and prevent browning
- 1/4 cup brown sugar for flavor and caramelization
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon adds warmth and aroma
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats for crunch and texture
- 1/2 cup brown sugar additional for topping
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter cold and diced
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon for topping flavor
- pinch salt to enhance flavor
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease your baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Peel the peaches with a peeler or knife, then slice them into a bowl. Toss the slices with lemon juice, a little sugar, and cinnamon to enhance their natural sweetness and flavor. Let sit for about 10 minutes to macerate and release juices.
- In a separate bowl, combine oats, the additional brown sugar, cinnamon, a pinch of salt, and diced cold butter. Use your fingers or a fork to work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. This creates a flaky, crumbly topping.
- Spread the prepared peach slices evenly in the baking dish, making sure the juices are distributed. Then, sprinkle the oat mixture over the fruit, pressing down slightly to form a snug topping.
- Place the dish in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping turns a warm golden brown and the filling bubbles around the edges. If the topping starts to darken too quickly, tent with foil to prevent over-browning.
- Remove the peach crisp from the oven and let it rest for about 10 minutes. This allows the juices to settle and the filling to thicken slightly, making it easier to serve and enjoy.
Notes
For extra flavor, serve with a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream. To make this vegan, substitute butter with coconut oil.
