A quick and comforting summer dessert featuring juicy peaches topped with a crunchy brown sugar oat crisp, served warm with creamy vanilla bean ice cream.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 5 large ripe peaches, peeled and sliced
  • ½ cup packed brown sugar
  • ¾ cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • A pinch of salt
  • Vanilla bean ice cream, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Peel and slice about 5 large peaches into ½-inch thick slices. Toss them gently in a medium bowl with ½ cup brown sugar, 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, a pinch of salt, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and ¼ teaspoon nutmeg if using. Let them sit for 5 minutes to macerate and release juices.
  3. In another bowl, combine ¾ cup rolled oats, ½ cup all-purpose flour, and ½ cup brown sugar. Cut 6 tablespoons of cold, cubed unsalted butter into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Leave some larger pieces of butter if you want a chunkier texture.
  4. Pour the peach mixture into an 8×8 inch baking dish, spreading evenly. Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the peaches, covering them well but not packing it down.
  5. Bake for 35-40 minutes until peach juices bubble around the edges and the topping is golden brown. If the topping browns too fast, loosely cover with aluminum foil halfway through baking.
  6. Let the crisp rest for at least 10 minutes after baking to thicken the juices.
  7. Serve warm peach crisp topped generously with creamy vanilla bean ice cream.

Notes

Use cold butter for a flaky topping. If peaches are not juicy enough, sprinkle a teaspoon of water over the filling before topping. Let the crisp rest after baking to thicken juices and avoid sogginess. Tent with foil if topping browns too quickly. For gluten-free, swap flour with almond flour and use certified gluten-free oats. For dairy-free, replace butter with coconut oil and serve with dairy-free vanilla ice cream.
