Easy Peach Crisp
There are some desserts that feel like a small celebration, and this easy peach crisp is one of them. Juicy peaches bubble under a buttery oat topping that turns golden and crunchy in the oven, making every spoonful cozy and comforting.
Equipment
- 1 Baking Dish
- 1 Large bowl
- 1 Mixing Bowl
Ingredients
- 6 cups peaches peeled and sliced, fresh or frozen work well
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon alcohol-free vanilla optional
Topping
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 quarters cup brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cup butter melted or cold and cubed
Instructions
- Preheat your oven and lightly grease a baking dish. Add the sliced peaches to a large bowl, then toss them with sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, cinnamon, and vanilla if using.
- In another bowl, combine the oats, flour, brown sugar, salt, and cinnamon. Cut in the butter until the mixture looks crumbly and clumps together when pressed.
- Spread the peach mixture evenly into the baking dish. Sprinkle the oat crumble topping over the fruit, making sure to cover the surface well.
- Bake until the peaches are bubbling around the edges and the topping is crisp and golden brown. Let it rest for a few minutes before serving so the filling can set slightly.
Notes
Store leftover peach crisp covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To reheat, warm individual portions in the microwave or place the dish in a low oven until heated through.
