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
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish or a 9-inch square baking dish.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Evenly sprinkle the crisp topping over the peach mixture in the baking dish.
- Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbly and tender.
- 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.
