This easy peach crisp for a crowd is the perfect summer dessert—simple, delicious, and made with fresh peaches and a buttery oat topping. It’s a no-fuss recipe that serves 12 and is ideal for gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 cups fresh peaches, sliced (about 6–7 medium peaches)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. Wash the peaches. No need to peel. Slice each peach in half, remove the pit, and cut each half into 6-8 slices about 1/2-inch thick.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced peaches, granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Gently toss until evenly coated. Let sit for 5 minutes.
  4. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Add the cold, cubed butter. Using a pastry cutter or two forks, cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized butter pieces remaining.
  5. Pour the peach filling into the prepared baking dish and spread into an even layer. Sprinkle the crisp topping evenly over the peaches, covering them completely. Do not press down.
  6. Place the dish on a baking sheet to catch any overflow. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 40-45 minutes, or until the filling is bubbly and the topping is golden brown. If the topping browns too quickly, tent loosely with aluminum foil for the last 10-15 minutes.
  7. Let the crisp cool on a wire rack for at least 15-20 minutes before serving. Serve warm, preferably with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

Don’t skip the cornstarch—it thickens the filling. Keep butter cold for a crispy topping. Use a baking sheet to catch overflow. Let the crisp rest for 15-20 minutes before serving to allow the filling to set. Can be assembled up to 24 hours in advance and refrigerated; add 10 minutes to baking time if starting from cold.
