Ingredients
Scale
Peach Filling
- 6 fresh peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced (about 6 cups)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (divided)
Crisp Topping
- 3/4 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Prepare Oven and Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×9-inch or similar baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Mix Peach Filling: In a large bowl, toss the sliced peaches with lemon juice, granulated sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon until well combined. This helps thicken the filling and bring out the peach flavor.
- Assemble Filling in Dish: Pour the peach mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out for even baking.
- Make Crisp Topping: In a separate bowl, combine oats, flour, light brown sugar, salt, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Pour in the melted butter and stir until the mixture becomes crumbly and well coated.
- Top the Peaches: Sprinkle the crumbly topping evenly over the peach filling, covering the fruit completely for a golden crust.
- Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling around the edges.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from oven and let cool for 10–15 minutes before serving. This allows the filling to set slightly for easier serving. Enjoy warm, optionally topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
- Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence.
- If using canned or frozen peaches, drain them well and reduce the sugar slightly to avoid excess sweetness.
- This recipe also works beautifully with nectarines or a mix of other summer fruits, such as berries or plums.
