A simple and quick peach crisp featuring fresh peaches and a buttery homemade oat topping, perfect for summer gatherings and everyday indulgence.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 5–6 medium fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (50g)
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar (55g)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
  • 1 cup rolled oats (90g)
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (65g)
  • 1/3 cup packed brown sugar (70g)
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed (85g)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Peel the peaches carefully and slice into 1/2-inch thick wedges. Place in a medium bowl.
  3. Add granulated sugar, brown sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, cinnamon, and nutmeg to the peaches. Toss gently to coat evenly.
  4. Pour the peach mixture into a 9×9-inch baking dish, spreading evenly.
  5. In another bowl, combine rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, and salt. Add cold cubed butter and cut into the mixture using a pastry cutter or forks until coarse crumbs form with pea-sized butter bits.
  6. Stir in vanilla extract gently.
  7. Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the peach filling without pressing down.
  8. Bake for 35-40 minutes until peach juices bubble and topping is golden brown. Tent with foil if topping browns too quickly.
  9. Let cool for about 10 minutes before serving to allow filling to thicken.

Notes

Use firm but ripe peaches for best texture. Cold butter is key for a flaky oat topping. If peaches are very juicy, add up to 2 tablespoons extra cornstarch to prevent sogginess. Tent with foil if topping browns too fast. Let crisp cool slightly before serving to thicken filling. For gluten-free, substitute almond flour and certified gluten-free oats. For dairy-free, replace butter with coconut oil or vegan butter.
