A simple, cozy peach crisp featuring fresh peaches and a warm cinnamon oat topping, perfect for a quick and comforting summer dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4–5 medium fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and position a rack in the center.
  2. Peel and slice the peaches into about 1/2-inch thick wedges.
  3. In a large bowl, combine peach slices, lemon juice, cornstarch, granulated sugar, and cinnamon. Stir gently until peaches are evenly coated.
  4. Pour the peach mixture into a prepared 8×8-inch baking dish, spreading evenly.
  5. In a separate bowl, mix rolled oats, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, cinnamon (optional), and salt.
  6. Add cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients and cut in with a pastry cutter, forks, or fingers until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized bits.
  7. Evenly sprinkle the oat topping over the peach filling without pressing down.
  8. Bake for 35-40 minutes until juices bubble and topping is golden brown. Tent with foil if topping browns too fast.
  9. Let the crisp cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.

Notes

Use cold butter to achieve the best crumbly topping texture. Adjust sugar based on peach sweetness. If peaches are very juicy, add an extra tablespoon of cornstarch. Peeling peaches can be made easier by blanching in boiling water for 30 seconds. For gluten-free, substitute all-purpose flour with almond or oat flour and use certified gluten-free oats. For vegan, replace butter with cold coconut oil or plant-based margarine and brown sugar with coconut sugar.
