Ingredients

Scale
  • 5 medium fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (about 1/2-inch thick)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar (dark or light)
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish lightly with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. Peel and slice about 5 medium fresh peaches into 1/2-inch thick slices. Peeling is optional but recommended for smoother texture.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the peach slices with 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Stir gently to coat evenly and let sit while preparing the crumble.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 3/4 cup rolled oats, 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, and a pinch of salt. Pour in 1/3 cup melted unsalted butter and mix with a fork or fingers until crumbly but holds together when pressed.
  5. Pour the peach mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading evenly. Sprinkle the oat brown sugar crumble evenly over the top without pressing down.
  6. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and peach juices are bubbly. If topping browns too quickly, cover loosely with foil for the last 10 minutes.
  7. Let the peach crisp cool for 10-15 minutes before serving to allow juices to thicken.

Notes

Use firm but ripe peaches for best texture. Melt butter slowly and let cool slightly before mixing to avoid soggy topping. Do not press crumble topping down to keep it crisp. If peach juices are watery, add a tablespoon of flour or cornstarch to the filling next time. Can substitute all-purpose flour with gluten-free blend and use certified gluten-free oats for gluten-free version. Adding nuts or spices like nutmeg or ginger can enhance flavor. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. Store covered in refrigerator up to 3 days and reheat in oven to maintain crispness.
