Peach Crisp

I love apple crisp but there's also nothing that compares with peach crisp. Juicy fresh peaches combined with a crunchy and sweet topping. Yum.

Ingredients

Filling

  • 1/3 c. packed light brown sugar
  • 1 T. lemon juice
  • 1 1/2 t. cornstarch
  • 1/4 t. vanilla extract
  • 1/8 t. fine salt
  • 2 lbs. ripe but firm peaches (about 5 medium sized), halved, pitted and cut into 1/2 inch slices

  • 3/4 c. oatmeal
  • 3/4 c. flour
  • 3/4 c. brown sugar
  • 1/2 c. melted butter
  • 1/4 t. baking powder
  • 1/2 t. cinnamon

Instructions

Topping

  1. Heat the oven to 425.

  2. Place the dry ingredients in a bowl and mix together.

  3. Pour the melted butter over the dry ingredients and mix until all combined.

Filling

  1. Combine the brown sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, vanilla and salt in a large bowl and mix to combine.

  2. Add the sliced peaches and stir until evenly coated.

  3. Transfer the mixture to an 8x8 glass or ceramic baking dish and arrange in an even layer.

  4. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the peaches. (Best to use your fingers for this!!)

  5. Bake until the topping is browned and crisp, about 20-25 minutes. You'll also see the filling bubbling up!!

  6. Once done, place the dish on a wire rack to cool for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Recipe Notes

Guide to peeling peaches:

  1. Boil a big pot of water.
  2. Gently lower each peach into the water with a slotted spoon.
  3. Leave it there for 30 seconds.
  4. Using the slotted spoon, remove the peach from the hot water and plunge it into an ice water bath.
  5. After 10 seconds or so, grab the peach and pinch a piece of skin to get started.  Then simply peel.  The skin will slip off easily
  6. If peaches are not ripe enough, this won't work as well and you'll need to peel them with a knife.
