Peach Crisp Recipe
Excuse me while I eat this all summer! This perfect peach crisp is incredibly delicious and surprisingly a breeze to bake! Made with fresh in-season peaches and topped with an irresistible oat-pecan streusel, this dessert is a pleasure to eat, and that scoop of vanilla ice cream? Perfection!
Equipment
- A casserole/baking dish
Ingredients
Peach Filling
- 5-6 large yellow peaches (cut in thick slices, skinned/unskinned to taste)
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice
- 2 Tbsp brown sugar
- 1 Tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1/8 tsp ground cinnamon
Streusel Topping
- 1/3 cup salted butter (melted)
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp baking powder (optional)
Instructions
Make the Filling
- Preheat the oven to 400 F.
- Carefully put the peaches in a large boiling water bowl and let them soak for one minute, allowing the skin to peel off easily.
- Peel and slice your peaches, and set them aside; careful not to burn yourself.
- In a large bowl, combine sliced peaches with lemon juice, flour, cinnamon, and brown sugar. Scoop into a casserole or baking dish and spread evenly.
Pecan-Oat Streusel
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, chopped pecans, brown sugar, baking powder, and cinnamon.
- Slowly add melted butter and mix with the hand until the mixture starts to come together and crumbly.
- Sprinkle the oats on the peach filling and bake for 15 minutes. Next, reduce the temperature to 325 F and bake for 20 minutes.
- Allow the peach crisp to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your crisp with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
Notes
- You may want to make the peach slices slightly thick; it takes 35 minutes for the streusel to cook, so your peaches may get too soft if they're too thin.
- I'm a big fan of pecans, but I've also used sliced almonds in most of my desserts. So, feel free to use almonds if that's what you have.
- This peach crisp keeps well in the refrigerator for a couple of days.
- Enjoy warm or at room temperature. Stick the leftovers in a preheated 350 F oven for 15-20 minutes to heat them.
