How to Make the Recipe
Let’s dive into the step-by-step process. Don’t worry, it’s easier than you think!
- Preheat your oven to 400°F. Butter a 9×9-inch baking pan and set it aside.
- In a large bowl, mix together the peaches, granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons of flour, cornstarch, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and salt until everything is well combined. Pour this mixture into the prepared pan and set it aside.
- In the same large bowl, cream together the brown sugar, remaining ½ cup of flour, butter, and the remaining teaspoon of cinnamon until you get a wet, clumpy mixture. Add the oats and stir until you have a coarse mixture. (I find using my hands works best for this part!)
- Crumble the oat mixture evenly over the top of the peaches. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the oats start to turn a light golden color around the edges. Remove from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes to cool and set up.
- Serve warm, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream if desired. Enjoy!
Pro Tips for Making the Recipe
Here are a few tips to ensure your peach crisp turns out perfectly every time:
- Use fresh, ripe peaches for the best flavor.
- Don’t overmix the oat topping—it should be crumbly.
- Let the crisp rest for 10 minutes before serving to allow the juices to thicken.
How to Serve
While this peach crisp is delicious on its own, here are a few ideas for how to take it to the next level:
- Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream
- Add a drizzle of caramel sauce
- Top with fresh whipped cream
- Enjoy as a warm breakfast treat with a dollop of yogurt
Make Ahead and Storage
One of the best things about this recipe is that it can be made ahead of time. Simply prepare the peach mixture and oat topping separately, then assemble and bake when you’re ready. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave when you’re ready to serve.
