Ingredients
Scale
Fruit Mixture
- 6 cups fresh or frozen peeled and sliced peaches
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Crisp Topping
- 1 cup old fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup all purpose flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Mix Peaches: In a large bowl, gently combine the sliced peaches with granulated sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, and nutmeg, ensuring the fruit is evenly coated for optimal flavor.
- Assemble Fruit Layer: Transfer the peach mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading evenly to form the base layer.
- Make Crisp Topping: In a separate bowl, mix rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, and salt. Pour the melted butter over this mixture and stir until it forms a crumbly texture.
- Top Fruit with Crumble: Evenly sprinkle the oat topping over the peach layer, covering all the fruit.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes until the topping is golden brown and peach filling bubbles at the edges.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the peach crisp to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm, optionally topped with vanilla ice cream for added indulgence.
Notes
- For added texture and flavor, incorporate a handful of chopped pecans or almonds into the crisp topping.
- If using frozen peaches, thaw and drain any excess liquid before assembling to prevent sogginess.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat before serving.
