Peach Crisp

This dish is a baked fruit dessert featuring tender, juicy peaches topped with a crispy oatmeal streusel. The peaches are sliced and layered in a baking dish, then covered with a buttery, crumbly topping that bakes until golden brown and bubbling around the edges. The final result is a warm, comforting dessert with a balanced contrast of soft fruit and crunchy topping.

Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients
  

  • 6 cups peach slices peeled, pitted, and sliced
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice fresh preferred
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 cup old-fashioned oats
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter cold, cubed
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Baking dish
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Pastry cutter or fork
  • Oven

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, gently toss the sliced peaches with sugar, lemon juice, and cinnamon until evenly coated. Spread the peach mixture evenly in a baking dish.
  2. In a separate bowl, combine oats, flour, brown sugar, and salt. Use a pastry cutter or fork to cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. This creates the crunchy topping.
  3. Sprinkle the crumbly topping evenly over the peach filling, covering it completely for a thick layer of streusel.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for about 35 minutes, until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling around the edges.
  5. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Serve warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for added comfort and flavor.
