Ingredients
Scale
Peach Filling
- 8 cups peeled and thinly sliced fresh peaches
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Topping
- ½ cup + 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup packed light brown sugar
- ½ cup (1 stick) salted butter, room temperature
- 1 ¾ cup old-fashioned oats
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven and prepare pan: Preheat your oven to 400°F. Butter a 9×9 inch baking pan generously, then set it aside to prepare your ingredients.
- Combine the peach filling: In a large bowl, mix peeled and sliced peaches with granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons of flour, cornstarch, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and salt. This mixture will help thicken the fruit juices as it bakes. Pour this peach mixture evenly into the prepared baking pan.
- Make the crisp topping: Using the same bowl, combine the brown sugar, ½ cup flour, softened butter, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Stir in the old-fashioned oats until the mixture forms a crumbly topping. Spread this oat mixture evenly over the peaches in the pan.
- Bake the crisp: Place the baking pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and crispy around the edges.
- Rest and serve: Remove the peach crisp from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes to cool slightly and thicken. Serve warm, optionally topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for extra indulgence.
Notes
- For best flavor, use ripe, juicy peaches.
- You can substitute salted butter with unsalted butter plus a pinch of extra salt if preferred.
- To make the topping even crispier, broil for the last 1-2 minutes while watching closely to avoid burning.
- This dessert can be prepared ahead and reheated before serving.
- Leftovers keep well covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
