Ingredients
8 cups peeled and thinly sliced fresh peaches
½ cup granulated sugar
½ cup + 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, divided
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, divided
¼ teaspoon salt
¾ cup packed light brown sugar
½ cup (1 stick) salted butter, room temperature
1 ¾ cup old-fashioned oats
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Butter a 9×9-inch baking pan and set aside.
-
Prepare the peaches: In a large bowl, combine peaches, granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons of flour, cornstarch, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and salt. Mix well, then pour the peach mixture into the prepared pan.
-
Make the crumble topping: In the same bowl, cream together brown sugar, the remaining ½ cup of flour, butter, and the remaining cinnamon until it forms a clumpy mixture. Add oats and mix to form a coarse texture. For the best results, use your hands to blend.
-
Assemble the crisp: Crumble the oat mixture evenly over the peaches.
-
Bake: Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the oats turn golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling.
-
Rest and serve: Let the crisp cool for 10 minutes before serving warm, ideally with vanilla ice cream.
Notes
Add chopped nuts (like pecans or walnuts) to the topping for extra texture.
Add a pinch of nutmeg or ginger for a unique flavor twist.
For a vegan version, substitute vegan butter and use a flax egg for the butter.
