Description
Soft, syrupy peach slices spiced with lemon, cinnamon, and nutmeg get a crunchy oat–brown sugar topping that bakes to golden perfection, filling the kitchen with warm, autumnal aroma.
Ingredients
- 5 cups sliced fresh peaches
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter cubed
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, toss the sliced peaches with granulated sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, and nutmeg until evenly coated.
- Transfer the peach mixture to a 9×9-inch baking dish, spreading it into an even layer.
- In a separate bowl, combine the rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, and salt.
- Add the cold cubed butter to the oat mixture and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work it in until coarse crumbs form.
- Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the peaches.
- Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Allow the crisp to cool for 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
- You can use frozen peaches if fresh ones are not available; thaw and drain excess liquid first.
- Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for added richness.
- Adjust the sugar in the filling to suit the sweetness of your peaches.
- Store any leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to three days.
