A quick and easy peach crisp featuring juicy fresh peaches and a buttery, crunchy oat topping, perfect for a comforting summer dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 5–6 medium fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Peel and slice 5-6 medium peaches into 1/2-inch thick slices. Toss them in a large bowl with 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons cornstarch.
  3. Transfer peach mixture to a 9×9-inch baking dish, spreading evenly.
  4. In another bowl, combine 1 cup rolled oats, 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup packed brown sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  5. Add 1/2 cup cold, cubed unsalted butter to the oat mixture. Use a pastry cutter, fork, or fingertips to work it in until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized bits of butter.
  6. Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the peaches.
  7. Bake for 40-45 minutes until the topping is golden brown and crisp and the peach filling is bubbly. Tent with foil if topping browns too quickly.
  8. Let the crisp cool for 10 minutes to thicken the juices.
  9. Serve warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

Keep butter cold for a flaky topping. If peaches are not juicy enough, add a splash of water or apple juice before baking. Tent with foil if topping browns too fast. Let crisp rest after baking for easier serving and thicker filling. Frozen peaches can be used if thawed and drained.
