Ingredients
Scale
Fruit Mixture
- 8 cups peeled and thinly sliced fresh peaches
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Topping
- ½ cup + 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (½ cup for topping, 2 tablespoons already used in fruit mixture)
- ¾ cup packed light brown sugar
- ½ cup (1 stick) salted butter, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 ¾ cup old-fashioned oats
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Butter a 9×9 inch baking pan to prevent sticking, then set it aside.
- Mix the peaches: In a large bowl, combine the peeled and thinly sliced peaches with granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, cornstarch, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and salt. This mixture helps thicken the juices released during baking. Pour this fruit mixture evenly into the prepared baking pan.
- Prepare the topping: Using the same large bowl, mix together the light brown sugar, ½ cup of all-purpose flour, softened salted butter, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Once combined, add the old-fashioned oats and stir until the mixture becomes crumbly and well mixed.
- Assemble and bake: Evenly spread the oat topping over the peach mixture in the baking pan. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the topping turns golden brown around the edges.
- Rest and serve: Remove the peach crisp from the oven and allow it to rest for 10 minutes. Serve warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra indulgent touch.
Notes
- Use ripe but firm peaches for the best texture and sweetness.
- You can substitute the butter with margarine for a dairy-free option, though flavor may vary.
- Feel free to add a handful of chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts to the topping for added crunch.
- This dessert is best enjoyed warm but can be reheated gently before serving.
- To make it gluten-free, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend and ensure oats are certified gluten-free.
