Description
This Easy Peach Crisp with Oats recipe is a nostalgic favorite, reminiscent of the classic dessert your grandma used to make. Sweet, juicy peaches are topped with a crunchy oat topping for the perfect blend of flavors and textures.
Ingredients
Scale
Peach Filling:
- 6 fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (about 6 cups)
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
Crisp Topping:
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- ½ cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt (optional, if using unsalted butter)
- ½ cup (1 stick) salted butter, softened
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (to stir into filling)
- ½ cup chopped nuts (pecans, walnuts, or almonds)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease or butter an 8×8-inch baking dish.
- Prepare the Peach Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced peaches, granulated sugar, flour, cornstarch, cinnamon, and salt. Toss gently until the peaches are evenly coated. Pour the peach mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread into an even layer.
- Make the Crisp Topping: In the same bowl, mix together the flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt (if using). Add the softened butter and use a fork, pastry cutter, or your fingers to mix until the topping forms coarse, crumbly clumps. Stir in nuts if using.
- Top the Peaches: Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the peaches, making sure to cover the fruit completely.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbly around the edges.
- Cool and Serve: Let the crisp rest for at least 10–15 minutes before serving. This allows the filling to set and cool slightly. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, if desired.
Notes
- You can use a combination of peaches and other fruits like apples or berries for a mixed fruit crisp.
- Adjust the sugar in the filling according to the sweetness of the fruit and your personal preference.
- For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free flour and oats.
