No reviews

This perfect peach crisp is a comforting dessert made with sweet, juicy peaches and topped with a buttery brown sugar cinnamon oat streusel. Toasted pecans add crunch, and it’s best served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

  • Total Time: 1 hour
  • Yield: 8–12 servings

Ingredients

  • 5 cups (750–800g) sliced peaches (peeled or unpeeled)
  • 1/4 cup (31g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (100g) packed light or dark brown sugar
  • 2/3 cup (84g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, very cold and cubed
  • 2/3 cup (57g) old-fashioned whole rolled oats (or quick oats)
  • Optional: 2/3 cup (95g) chopped or halved unsalted pecans

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish, 9-inch square pan, 10-inch cast iron skillet, or any 2–2.5-quart baking dish. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, gently mix all the filling ingredients: peaches, flour, sugar, salt, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Spread evenly into the prepared baking dish.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and salt. Cut in the cold cubed butter using a pastry cutter or two forks until crumbly.
  4. Fold in the oats and pecans (if using), then sprinkle the topping evenly over the peach filling.
  5. Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit juices bubble around the edges.
  6. Remove from the oven and cool slightly before serving. Serve warm, room temperature, or cold—best with vanilla ice cream.

Notes

  • Cover and refrigerate leftovers for up to 5 days.
  • Can be made with peeled or unpeeled peaches based on preference.
  • Substitute pecans with walnuts or omit for a nut-free version.
  • Delicious served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
