Your Go-to Peach Crisp Recipe
Peach crisp is peak summer time dessert perfection; it’s quick, straightforward, and phenomenal with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. You’ll love how the juicy, candy taste of the peaches pairs so nicely with the crumbly, oatmeal cookie-like topping in my model.
Whereas this peach crisp recipe is new to the weblog, it’s been a staple in our dwelling for years, and I first shared it over on a good friend’s web site. This yr, we’ve even had the chance to make it with our homegrown peaches (sneak peek of our “orchard” in at the moment’s recipe video)–what a deal with!
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
- Nice peach taste! We’ll add only a few taste enhancers (vanilla, brown sugar, and cinnamon) to enrich the peaches with out overshadowing them.
- Crisp topping: it may be exhausting to discover a peach crisp recipe that really stays crisp after baking (since peaches are so juicy!). Mine is fine-tuned to have a superbly tender and juicy filling with a crisp, crumbly topping.
- Quick prep: solely Quarter-hour to make the filling and topping at first goes within the oven.

Elements
Earlier than we get began, let’s evaluation a couple of of the substances:
- Peaches. Contemporary summer time peaches are excellent right here. For the best slicing, use a freestone selection. Thawed frozen peaches can work in a pinch, however they aren’t my desire. I don’t advocate utilizing canned peaches (they’re simply too comfortable).
- Oats. I want and advocate old style rolled oats (identical to when making my do-it-yourself granola), since immediate oats make for a extra crumbly topping. You might use immediate oats in a pinch although!
- Cinnamon. This provides a candy, spiced taste. When you’d like, you possibly can mess around with the spices within the filling and use some nutmeg or ginger too, however we at all times want cinnamon.
- Baking soda. Have you ever ever poked your fork right into a crumble or streusel topping simply to seek out it rock exhausting and unyielding? Baking soda solves this downside by making the topping porous (microscopically so) in order that it stays crisp above all these juicy peaches however nonetheless breaks simply beneath your fork.
- Unsalted butter. In contrast to my apple crisp recipe, we’re utilizing chilly butter right here at the moment. I do know, it’s a ache–however identical to when making my berry crisp, I discovered that chilly butter made for a crispier topping. That is finest right here, since our filling is far juicier with peaches than with apples!
SAM’S TIP: In case your peaches are particularly candy and juicy, you possibly can cut back the sugar within the recipe. I wouldn’t reduce the sugar an excessive amount of although–ensure so as to add at the least 2 tablespoons.
Keep in mind, that is simply an summary of the substances I used and why. For the total recipe please scroll all the way down to the underside of the put up!
The best way to Make Peach Crisp
- Minimize your peaches into ¼-½” thick slices. You may peel your peaches or depart the peels on–I speak extra about this beneath.
- Add the sugar, flour, cinnamon, salt, lemon juice, and vanilla.
- Stir to mix, then put aside. The combination will start to macerate and get juicy.
- Whisk the oats, sugar, and remaining dry substances collectively in a separate bowl.
- Minimize within the chilly butter utilizing a pastry cutter. The combination needs to be clumpy.
- Stir the peaches one extra time, then add them to a greased baking dish. Sprinkle the oat combination overtop.
- Bake till the filling is bubbly and the highest is golden brown.
SAM’S TIP: When you dig into your peach crisp too early, will probably be VERY scorching and the filling will likely be liquidy. I like to recommend ready 10-Quarter-hour after eradicating the crisp from the oven earlier than serving. Because it cools, the sauce thickens (making it good for spooning over ice cream!).
