Ingredients
Scale
Peach Mixture
- 6 cups fresh or frozen peaches (peeled and sliced)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
Crisp Topping
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (cold, cut into cubes)
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare baking dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×9-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Prepare peach mixture: In a large bowl, toss the peeled and sliced peaches with granulated sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg until evenly coated. This mixture balances sweetness with a hint of spice and tang.
- Transfer peaches to baking dish: Pour the peach mixture into your prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly to create a uniform layer.
- Make oat topping: In a separate bowl, combine old-fashioned oats, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, and salt. Cut the cold unsalted butter into the mixture using a pastry cutter or your fingers until it forms coarse crumbs resembling a crumbly texture.
- Assemble crisp: Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the peaches in the baking dish to ensure every bite has a crispy topping.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the peach mixture is bubbly.
- Cool and serve: Allow the peach crisp to cool slightly before serving. For an extra indulgence, serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
- For extra flavor and texture, add a handful of chopped pecans or almonds to the oat topping before baking.
- If using frozen peaches, be sure to thaw and drain any excess liquid to avoid a watery crisp.
- This dessert can be prepared ahead of time and reheated just before serving for convenience.
