Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8×8‑inch baking dish or a 10‑inch cast iron skillet.
2
In a large bowl, toss the sliced peaches with granulated sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, and cinnamon until evenly coated. Transfer the peach mixture to the prepared dish and spread into an even layer.
3
In a separate bowl, combine the rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, and salt. Add the cold cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea‑sized butter pieces.
4
Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the peaches, covering them completely.
5
Bake for 35–40 minutes, until the filling is bubbly and the topping is deeply golden brown.
6
Remove from the oven and let the crisp cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before serving. The filling will thicken slightly as it cools.
7
Serve warm, preferably with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, you can. Use two 15‑oz cans of sliced peaches packed in juice, well drained. The filling will be softer, so you may want to increase the cornstarch to 1½ tablespoons.
Replace the all‑purpose flour with a 1‑to‑1 gluten‑free baking flour and make sure your rolled oats are certified gluten‑free. The topping will still be deliciously crunchy.
Cover the dish with foil or transfer leftovers to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven to keep the topping crisp, rather than using the microwave.
Absolutely. Bake and cool the crisp completely, then wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and foil and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat in a 350°F oven until warmed through.
If you don’t have rolled oats, you can use an equal amount of quick‑cooking oats, though the texture will be slightly less chewy. For an oat‑free version, increase the flour by ¼ cup and add ¼ cup chopped nuts for crunch.
All the simple ingredients you need for this easy peaches recipe, ready to be turned into a delicious crisp.
