Ingredients
  • 6 medium, peeled and sliced Peaches
  • 1 cup All-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup Rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup, packed Brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup Granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick), cubed Cold unsalted butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon Nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon juice

Prepare the Peach Filling

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large bowl, combine the sliced peaches, lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar. Toss gently to coat the fruit evenly. The lemon juice prevents browning and enhances the peach flavor.

Make the Crisp Topping

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, remaining granulated sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry blender or your fingers to cut the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Ensure the butter is well distributed.

Assemble and Bake

Pour the peach mixture into a 9-inch baking dish. Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the peaches. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is bubbly. If the topping browns too quickly, tent with foil.

Cool and Serve

Let the crisp cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. This allows the filling to thicken slightly. Serve warm, with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. The combination of warm crisp and cold ice cream is a classic delight.

FAQ

  • Can I use canned peaches?

    Yes, you can use canned peaches, but drain them well and reduce the amount of sugar in the filling, as canned peaches are often packed in syrup. Fresh peaches provide the best flavor, though.
  • Can I add nuts to the topping?

    Absolutely! Chopped pecans or walnuts would be a delicious addition to the crisp topping. Add about 1/2 cup to the dry ingredients before mixing in the butter.
  • How do I peel peaches easily?

    Blanch the peaches in boiling water for 30-60 seconds, then immediately transfer them to an ice bath. The skins should easily slip off.
