Equipment
- 1 9x13-inch baking dish greased
- 1 Mixing Bowl large
- 1 pastry cutter
Ingredients
Peach Filling
- 6 cups fresh peaches sliced
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
Crisp Topping
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar packed
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter cold and diced
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish to ensure easy removal of the crisp once baked.
- Wash, peel, and slice the peaches. In a large bowl, combine the sliced peaches with granulated sugar, lemon juice, and flour. Toss gently to coat the peaches evenly.
- In another bowl, mix the oats, flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cut in the butter using a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Spread the prepared peaches evenly in the greased baking dish. Sprinkle the oat mixture evenly over the peaches.
- Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes. The topping should be golden brown and the peach filling should be bubbling.
- Allow the crisp to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving to let the juices settle and thicken.
Serving
- For a classic pairing, serve the warm peach crisp with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Storage
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven for the best texture.
