Ingredients

• 6-8 medium fresh peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced (about 6 cups) OR 2 (15-ounce) cans sliced peaches, drained
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar (adjust based on sweetness of peaches)
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional, but enhances flavor)
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish or a 9-inch square baking dish.
2. In a large bowl, combine the sliced peaches, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice (if using), 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. Toss gently until the peaches are evenly coated. Pour the mixture into your prepared baking dish.
3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, old-fashioned rolled oats, light brown sugar, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and salt for the crisp topping.
4. Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry blender, two forks, or your fingertips to cut the butter into the flour mixture until coarse crumbs form.
5. Evenly sprinkle the crisp topping over the peach mixture in the baking dish.
6. Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbly and tender.
7. Let the peach crisp cool for at least 10-15 minutes before serving. It’s delicious served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
