Equipment
- Baking Dish
- Oven
Ingredients
Peach Filling
- 4-5 medium Fresh Peaches peeled and sliced
- ¾ cup Granulated Sugar adjust based on peach sweetness
- 1 tbsp Lemon Juice adds balance to sweetness
- 1 tsp Ground Cinnamon adds warmth
Crisp Topping
- 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
- ½ cup Rolled Oats optional for texture
- ½ cup Butter cold and cubed
- ¼ cup Brown Sugar adds depth of flavor
- ¼ tsp Salt balances sweetness
- 1 tsp Ground Cinnamon optional for extra flavor
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
- Peel and slice the peaches into thin, uniform slices. Toss them with granulated sugar, lemon juice, and cinnamon. Let the mixture sit for a few minutes to release the juices.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, oats (if using), brown sugar, and salt for the topping.
- Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Optionally, add cinnamon or nutmeg for extra flavor.
- Place the peaches in the prepared baking dish, spreading them evenly. Sprinkle the crisp topping generously over the peaches.
- Bake for 30-40 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling around the edges.
- Let the crisp cool for 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
Notes
For added flavor, you can add a sprinkle of sliced almonds, walnuts, or coconut to the topping. For a more textured topping, try using chopped nuts as well.
