Ingredients

Scale
  • 56 medium fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (50g)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 3/4 cup old-fashioned rolled oats (75g)
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (60g)
  • 1/3 cup packed brown sugar (65g)
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed (85g)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Peel and slice 5-6 medium peaches into roughly 1/2-inch thick slices. Place them in a large bowl.
  3. Add sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice to the peaches. Toss gently to coat evenly. Let sit for about 10 minutes.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine rolled oats, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, and a pinch of salt. Mix thoroughly.
  5. Add cold, cubed butter to the oat mixture. Use a pastry cutter or fork to work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized chunks.
  6. Transfer the peach mixture into a greased 8×8-inch baking dish, spreading evenly.
  7. Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the peaches without pressing down.
  8. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and peach juices are bubbling. Cover loosely with foil if topping browns too quickly during the last 10 minutes.
  9. Let the crisp cool slightly for about 10 minutes before serving to thicken the juices.

Notes

Use ripe but firm peaches for best texture. If peaches are underripe, add an extra tablespoon of sugar and a splash of water before baking. Cover with foil if topping browns too fast. For gluten-free, substitute flour with almond or gluten-free flour blend. For dairy-free, replace butter with coconut oil or vegan butter.
