This Peach Crisp recipe features tender, juicy peaches baked under a buttery, oat-based topping seasoned with cinnamon and brown sugar. It’s a comforting and classic dessert that’s perfect for showcasing fresh summer fruit. The crisp topping adds a satisfying crunch that pairs beautifully with the sweet, soft peach filling, making it ideal to serve warm with vanilla ice cream.

Ingredients

Scale

Peach Filling

  • 8 cups peeled and thinly sliced fresh peaches
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Crisp Topping

  • ½ cup + ½ cup (1 stick) salted butter, room temperature
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon (1 teaspoon used in filling, 1 teaspoon in topping)
  • ¾ cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 ¾ cup old-fashioned oats

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Butter a 9×9-inch baking pan thoroughly to prevent sticking and set it aside.
  2. Make the Peach Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the peeled and sliced peaches with granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons of flour, cornstarch, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and salt. Stir until the peaches are evenly coated and the mixture is well blended. Pour this peach mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly.
  3. Prepare the Crisp Topping: Using the same bowl, cream together the light brown sugar, remaining ½ cup flour, room temperature salted butter, and the second teaspoon of cinnamon until it forms a wet, clumpy mixture. Then stir in the old-fashioned oats until the mixture comes together as a coarse, crumbly texture. You may find it easiest to do this step with your hands to get an even mixture.
  4. Assemble and Bake: Evenly crumble the oat topping mixture over the peach filling in the pan, covering all the fruit. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the oat topping turns a light golden brown around the edges.
  5. Cool and Serve: Remove the peach crisp from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes to allow the filling to thicken and cool slightly. Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.

Notes

  • For best flavor, use ripe but firm peaches to avoid a mushy filling.
  • The cornstarch helps thicken the peach juices during baking to prevent a watery dessert.
  • You can substitute salted butter with unsalted butter plus a pinch of additional salt if preferred.
  • Old-fashioned oats provide the best texture; avoid quick oats which can become mushy.
  • Fresh peaches really elevate this dish, but in off-season, frozen unsweetened peaches can be used after thawing and draining excess liquid.
  • Letting the crisp rest before serving is key to setting the filling and making it easier to serve.
