Description
A warm, golden peach crisp with a buttery oatmeal crumble topping and perfectly bubbling peach filling — ready in under an hour and works beautifully with fresh, frozen, or canned peaches.
Ingredients
Scale
- 5½ cups sliced peaches (fresh, thawed frozen, or well-drained canned)
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1¼ cups old-fashioned oats (not instant)
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- ⅓ cup cold butter, cut into small cubes
- ⅓ cup chopped pecans
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and lightly grease a deep-dish 9-inch pie dish, a 9-inch square pan, or a medium cast iron skillet.
- Peel your peaches if desired, then slice them into even pieces.
- Add the sliced peaches directly to your greased baking dish.
- Pour in the vanilla extract and lemon juice, then sprinkle on the granulated sugar and flour.
- Stir everything together right in the dish until the peaches are evenly coated.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the old-fashioned oats, brown sugar, chopped pecans, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
- Add the cold butter cubes to the bowl and cut into the oat mixture using two forks or your fingertips until crumbly with no large butter chunks remaining.
- Spread the oatmeal crumble evenly over the peach filling and gently press some topping into the peaches.
- Bake for 40–50 minutes, until the crumble topping is deeply golden and the peach juices are bubbling around the edges.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 5–10 minutes before serving.
- Serve warm with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Notes
Use ripe but firm peaches — overripe ones turn mushy during baking. Cold butter is key to a crispy crumble topping; room-temperature butter makes it greasy. For frozen peaches, thaw completely and drain excess liquid. For canned peaches packed in syrup, reduce the granulated sugar by about 2 tablespoons.
