Ingredients

For the Peach Filling

5 cups (750g) fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
2 tbsp (16g) cornstarch
1 tbsp (15ml) lemon juice
1 tsp (2g) ground cinnamon
¼ tsp (1.5g) salt

For the Crisp Topping

1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour
1 cup (90g) rolled oats (old-fashioned)
1 cup (200g) packed light brown sugar
½ cup (113g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
1 tsp (2g) ground cinnamon
¼ tsp (1.5g) salt

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C) and lightly grease your baking dish with butter or non-stick spray. You may also find Baked Brie With Honey And Nuts useful.
Prep the Peaches: In a large bowl, toss the sliced peaches with lemon juice to enhance their flavor and prevent browning.
Mix the Filling: Whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and salt in another bowl, then fold this mixture into the peaches until the fruit is evenly coated and looks glossy.
Bake the Fruit: Transfer the peach mixture to the greased baking dish, spreading it into an even layer.
Make the Crisp Topping: In a separate bowl, combine flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Add the cold, cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or forks to work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs (about the size of small peas).
Combine and Bake: Sprinkle the crumble evenly over the peaches, pressing down very lightly with your palms. Bake for 40–45 minutes until the fruit juices are bubbling vigorously around the edges and the topping has turned a deep, golden mahogany.

Pro Tips & Variations

Best Results: For the best flavor, try using a mix of different peach varieties. This will add depth to your peach crisp.
Texture Tip: Let the peach crisp rest for a few minutes after baking. This allows the juices to settle for easier serving.
Delicious Swaps: For an added twist, you can use frozen peaches. Just ensure they are thawed and drained before using. Alternatively, for a healthier version, substitute half of the sugar with honey or maple syrup.

Storage & Reheating

To store any leftovers, simply cover the peach crisp with plastic wrap or transfer it to an airtight container. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If you want to enjoy it warm again, preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C) and bake for about 10-15 minutes until heated through.
