Ingredients
Scale
Peach Filling
- 4 cups fresh peaches, sliced
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
Crisp Topping
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Peach Filling: In a bowl, toss the sliced peaches with granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon to evenly coat the fruit. Pour this mixture into the prepared baking dish.
- Make Crisp Topping: In a separate bowl, combine rolled oats, brown sugar, all-purpose flour, and cinnamon. Drizzle in the melted butter and stir together until the mixture forms a crumbly texture.
- Assemble Crisp: Evenly spread the oat mixture over the peach filling in the baking dish, ensuring full coverage.
- Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbly around the edges.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the crisp to cool slightly before serving warm. Enjoy it with a scoop of ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgence.
Notes
- Use ripe peaches for the best flavor and natural sweetness.
- If fresh peaches are not in season, frozen sliced peaches can be used; thaw before mixing.
- For a nuttier topping, consider adding chopped walnuts or pecans into the oat mixture.
- To make it gluten-free, substitute all-purpose flour with gluten-free flour blend.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
