For this dish, you need 6 ripe peaches. The peaches should be peeled and sliced into wedges. Choose peaches that are soft to the touch but not mushy. They should smell sweet and fragrant. Fresh peaches give the best flavor and texture to your crisp. You will use 1 cup of granulated sugar. This sugar helps to sweeten the peaches. You also need 1 tablespoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice. The lemon juice adds a nice zing and balances the sweetness. Finally, add 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract for depth and warmth. Gather 1 cup of rolled oats, which adds texture and chewiness. You’ll also need 1 cup of all-purpose flour. This flour helps bind the topping. For sweetness and flavor, include 1/2 cup of packed light brown sugar. Finally, add 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon and 1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg. These spices enhance the warm flavors of the dessert. For the topping, you need 1/2 cup of unsalted butter. Make sure it’s melted and slightly cooled. This butter makes the topping rich and adds moisture. Don’t forget a pinch of fine sea salt. It brings out all the flavors in your crisp. You can find the complete instructions in the Full Recipe. Enjoy the process of making this delicious dessert! First, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This step is key. It gets your oven hot and ready for the crisp. While it heats, grab a 9x9-inch baking dish. Lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray. This helps the crisp not stick to the dish. Next, let's prepare the peaches. Take 6 ripe peaches and peel them. Slice the peaches into wedges. In a large bowl, combine the peach slices with 1 cup of granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Gently toss until all the peach slices are coated. Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes. This step helps the peaches release their sweet juices. Now, it’s time to make the topping. In another bowl, mix 1 cup of rolled oats, 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup of packed light brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg. Add a pinch of fine sea salt. Make a small well in the center and pour in 1/2 cup of melted butter. Stir using a fork or your fingers. You want it to look crumbly, like coarse crumbs. Next, pour the peach mixture into the greased baking dish. Spread the peaches evenly. Now, generously sprinkle the oat topping over the peaches. Make sure every slice of peach is well covered. This will give you a nice, crunchy top. Slide the baking dish into your preheated oven. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes. You want the topping to turn golden brown. The peach filling should bubble around the edges. This shows it's ready. Once baked, remove the crisp from the oven. Let it cool for at least 10 minutes. This cooling time helps the juices thicken, making it easier to serve. For a treat, serve it warm in bowls. Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. You can also garnish with a sprig of fresh mint or a sprinkle of cinnamon. Enjoy your Peachy Paradise Crisp! When you pick peaches, look for ones that feel firm yet slightly soft. They should have a pleasant aroma. The color should be bright yellow or orange, not green. If they have a few blemishes, that’s okay. Just avoid any that feel mushy or have dark spots. I love using local, seasonal peaches. They taste better and support local farmers. For a great crisp, the topping must be crumbly but not too dry. Mix rolled oats, flour, and brown sugar well. The butter should be melted but not hot. This way, it binds the topping without making it soggy. You can also add chopped nuts for a crunchy twist. The goal is a golden-brown top that contrasts with the juicy peaches below. Serve your Peach Crisp warm for the best flavor. I enjoy topping it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The cold ice cream melts slightly, giving a creamy texture. You can also add whipped cream or Greek yogurt if you prefer. For a fun touch, sprinkle cinnamon on top or add fresh mint leaves. This dessert is perfect for any occasion, from summer picnics to cozy winter nights. For more details, check the Full Recipe. {{image_4}} You can make this peach crisp gluten-free easily.

Ingredients
  

6 ripe peaches, peeled and sliced into wedges

1 cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 cup rolled oats

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup packed light brown sugar

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled

Pinch of fine sea salt

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking.

    Prepare the Peaches: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced peaches with granulated sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Gently toss the ingredients until the peach slices are thoroughly coated in the mixture. Set the bowl aside for about 10 minutes to allow the peaches to release their juices and enhance their flavor.

      Make the Topping: In a separate bowl, mix together the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. Create a well in the center and pour in the melted butter. Stir the mixture with a fork or your fingers until it forms a crumbly texture that resembles coarse crumbs.

        Combine: Lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray. Pour the peach mixture into the dish and spread it evenly. Generously sprinkle the oat topping over the peaches, ensuring every slice is well-covered.

          Bake: Slide the baking dish into the preheated oven. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the topping turns a beautiful golden brown, and the peach filling begins to bubble around the edges.

            Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the crisp from the oven and allow it to cool for at least 10 minutes. This waiting period will help the juices to thicken slightly and make it easier to serve.
