A comforting and easy-to-make peach crisp featuring a nutty brown butter oat crumble with a hint of cardamom, perfect for summer and any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 5–6 medium ripe peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced
  • 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, browned and cooled slightly
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: 1/4 cup chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, toss sliced peaches with 1/3 cup brown sugar, 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons cornstarch until well coated. Add up to 1 tablespoon more cornstarch if peaches are very juicy.
  3. Transfer the peach mixture to an 8-inch square oven-safe baking dish and spread evenly.
  4. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt 6 tablespoons unsalted butter. Stir frequently until it foams and turns golden brown with a nutty aroma (about 5-7 minutes). Remove from heat immediately and scrape browned bits into the butter.
  5. In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup rolled oats, 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, a pinch of salt, and 1/3 cup brown sugar. Pour the browned butter and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract into the mixture and stir until crumbly and evenly moistened. Stir in optional nuts if using.
  6. Sprinkle the oat crumble evenly over the peach filling.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbly. If topping browns too quickly, cover loosely with foil and continue baking.
  8. Remove from oven and let cool for 10-15 minutes to allow the filling to set.
  9. Serve warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

Watch the brown butter carefully to avoid burning; stir frequently and remove from heat once it reaches a golden amber color with a nutty aroma. Peeling peaches is optional but recommended for smoother texture. For gluten-free, substitute all-purpose flour with almond flour or gluten-free blend. For dairy-free, use coconut oil instead of butter. Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheat best in the oven covered loosely with foil.
