Ingredients

Units Scale

Peach Mixture

  • 8 cups peeled and thinly sliced fresh peaches
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Topping

  • 1/2 cup + 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (total 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons, use 1/2 cup for topping)
  • 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) salted butter, room temperature
  • 1 3/4 cup old-fashioned oats
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C). Butter a 9×9 inch baking pan thoroughly and set it aside to prepare for the peach mixture.
  2. Mix Peach Filling: In a large bowl, combine the peeled and thinly sliced peaches with granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons of flour, cornstarch, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and salt. Mix well until evenly combined. Pour this mixture into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly.
  3. Prepare the Topping: Using the same large bowl, cream together the packed light brown sugar, the remaining ½ cup flour, softened butter, and remaining 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. Mix until the mixture becomes wet and clumpy. Then add the old-fashioned oats and stir until you have a coarse, crumbly texture. Using your hands to mix can make this step easier.
  4. Assemble and Bake: Evenly crumble the oat topping over the peach mixture in the baking pan. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the oats turn a light golden color around the edges.
  5. Cool and Serve: Remove the peach crisp from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes to cool and set. Serve warm by itself or topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent dessert experience.

Notes

  • Storage: Store peach crisp in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To reheat, bake in the oven at 400°F until hot, or microwave individual servings in 30-second intervals.
  • Prep Ahead: You can prepare the crisp but not bake it. Cover tightly and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Before baking, let it sit at room temperature for 30 to 60 minutes, then bake as directed.
  • Make Ahead: Bake and cool the crisp, store at room temperature if serving within a few hours, or refrigerate. Reheat in a 400°F oven for about 8 minutes until warm, or microwave individual portions.
  • Adjusting Size: To double the recipe, use a 9×13 inch baking dish and increase baking time by about 10 minutes, monitoring for a golden oat topping.
  • Peach Ripeness: Use peaches that are ripe but still firm to avoid a mushy texture. Purchasing peaches a day or two ahead allows them to soften just right for baking.
