Ingredients
  

For the peach filling
  • 6 pieces Fresh Peaches Choose ripe, juicy peaches that are fragrant and slightly soft to the touch for the best flavor.
  • 0.5 cup Granulated Sugar Sweetens the peaches and balances their natural tartness.
For the topping
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour Provides the base for the crumbly topping.
  • 1 cup Rolled Oats Adds a hearty texture and fiber-rich goodness.
  • 0.5 cup Brown Sugar Introduces a caramel-like flavor to the topping.
  • 1 stick Unsalted Butter Essential for achieving a rich, buttery crumble.
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon A warm spice that enhances the flavors of the peaches beautifully.
For serving
  • 1 scoop Vanilla Ice Cream A classic accompaniment that adds creaminess and indulgence.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C), ensuring it’s hot enough for the perfect bake.
  2. Wash, peel, and slice the peaches into thin wedges. Toss them with granulated sugar and let them sit for about 10 minutes to allow the juices to start mingling.
Topping Preparation
  1. In a separate bowl, mix the flour, oats, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon until combined.
  2. Pour melted butter into the dry mixture and stir until the mixture becomes crumbly, resembling streusel.
Assembly and Baking
  1. Place the peach mixture into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, spreading the peaches evenly across the bottom.
  2. Top with the crumbly mixture, ensuring it covers the peaches generously for that perfect crisp texture.
  3. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
  4. Allow to cool for 10 minutes, then serve warm, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Notes

To elevate your peach crisp, consider adding a handful of chopped nuts or a dash of nutmeg. If using frozen peaches, ensure you drain excess moisture. Try adding lemon juice or experiment with other fruits like berries or apples.
