Peach Crisp Recipe

Sweet, juicy peaches baked beneath a buttery oat crumble topping make this peach crisp recipe the ultimate summer dessert. Inspired by classic fruit crisps, this easy recipe combines fresh peaches, warm cinnamon, brown sugar, and crunchy pecans for a dessert that tastes homemade and comforting in every bite.

Step by Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Peaches

Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Grease a 9-inch baking dish or cast-iron skillet lightly with butter or nonstick spray.

In a large mixing bowl, combine sliced peaches, granulated sugar, flour, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Toss gently until the peaches are evenly coated.

Spread the peach mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.

Step 2: Make the Crisp Topping

In another bowl, whisk together oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt.

Add the cold cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or fork to mix until crumbly pea-sized pieces form. Stir in the chopped pecans.

The topping should look crumbly and slightly chunky for the best crisp texture.

Step 3: Assemble the Crisp

Evenly sprinkle the crumble topping over the peach filling, covering the peaches completely.

Step 4: Bake

Bake for 38–45 minutes, or until the peach filling is bubbling and the topping is golden brown and crisp.

If the topping browns too quickly, loosely cover the dish with foil during the final 10 minutes.

Step 5: Cool and Serve

Allow the peach crisp to cool for about 10 minutes before serving. This helps the filling thicken slightly.

Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for the best flavor.

Tips for the Best Peach Crisp

• Use slightly firm peaches for the best texture.
• Leave the peach skins on for a rustic dessert or peel them for a smoother filling.
• Cold butter creates a crispier crumble topping.
• Toast the pecans beforehand for extra nutty flavor.
• Add blueberries or strawberries for a mixed-fruit variation.

Storage Instructions

Store leftover peach crisp covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in the oven at 300°F for 10–15 minutes to keep the topping crisp.
