A comforting and easy-to-make peach crisp featuring a crunchy oat streusel topping, perfect for celebrating summer’s bounty with simple ingredients and soulful flavors.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 5–6 medium fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar (65g)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour (60g)
  • 1 cup rolled oats (90g)
  • ⅓ cup packed brown sugar (70g)
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed (85g)
  • A pinch of salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Peel, pit, and slice 5-6 medium peaches into roughly ½-inch slices. Toss them in a bowl with ⅓ cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and ½ cup all-purpose flour. Set aside to macerate for about 10 minutes.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup rolled oats, ⅓ cup packed brown sugar, a pinch of salt, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract if using. Add 6 tablespoons cold, cubed unsalted butter. Use a pastry cutter or fingers to work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized bits.
  4. Pour the peach mixture evenly into a greased 8×8-inch baking dish. Sprinkle the oat streusel topping evenly over the peaches, covering them fully but not pressing down.
  5. Bake for 40-45 minutes until peach juices bubble around the edges and the topping is golden and crisp. If the topping isn’t browned enough after 40 minutes, bake for an additional 5 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
  6. Let the peach crisp rest for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the juices to thicken and the topping to set.

Notes

For gluten-free, substitute all-purpose flour with almond flour or gluten-free flour blend and use certified gluten-free oats. For dairy-free, replace butter with solid coconut oil or vegan butter substitute. Let the crisp rest after baking to enhance flavor and texture. If peaches are very juicy, add extra flour or cornstarch to prevent soggy bottom. Keep butter cold for a crunchy topping. To prevent topping from burning, cover loosely with foil halfway through baking if needed.
