Easy Peach Crisp Recipe with a Crunchy Topping
This classic peach crisp brings together tender, sweet peaches with a golden, crunchy oat topping.
It’s a simple dessert that tastes like sunshine in every bite, perfect for any day.
Key Ingredients & Tips for Peach Crisp
- Ripe Peaches: Choose peaches that give a little when you gently squeeze them. They will be the most flavorful for your crisp.
- Oat Topping Secret: Don’t press the topping down too much when you sprinkle it on. A lighter touch helps it get extra crispy as it bakes.
What You Need for Peach Crisp
- 6 ripe peaches, peeled and sliced
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup cold butter, cut into small pieces
⏱️ Time: 50 minutes🍽️ Yields: 6 servings
How to Make Peach Crisp
Step 1: Get the Oven Ready & Prep Fruit
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly butter an 8×8 inch baking dish. In a large bowl, gently toss the sliced peaches with granulated sugar and flour until they are coated. Pour this peach mixture into your prepared baking dish.
Step 2: Make the Crunchy Topping
In a separate medium bowl, mix the rolled oats, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Add the cold butter pieces. Use your fingers to rub the butter into the oat mixture until it looks like coarse crumbs. Sprinkle this topping evenly over the peaches in the dish.
Step 3: Bake Until Golden
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbly around the edges. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving. This lets the fruit juices set a bit.
📝 Final Note
This peach crisp is best served warm, perhaps with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of fresh whipped cream.
