A simple and delicious peach crisp featuring fresh peaches and a crunchy oat streusel topping, perfect for summer gatherings and quick desserts.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 5–6 medium fresh peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup rolled oats (old-fashioned preferred)
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Peel, pit, and slice 5-6 medium peaches into about 1/2-inch thick slices. Toss them gently in a medium bowl with 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon flour, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine 3/4 cup rolled oats, 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, 1/3 cup flour, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Add 6 tablespoons softened unsalted butter.
  4. Use a pastry cutter, fork, or your fingers to rub the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some oat clusters.
  5. Spread the peach mixture evenly in an 8×8-inch baking dish. Sprinkle the oat streusel topping evenly over the peaches.
  6. Bake on the middle rack for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and peach juices are bubbling around the edges.
  7. Let the crisp rest for 10-15 minutes before serving to allow the juices to thicken.

Notes

If peaches are extra juicy, add a bit more flour to the fruit mixture to avoid sogginess. Tent the crisp with foil if the topping browns too quickly. For easier peeling, blanch peaches in boiling water for 30 seconds then transfer to ice water. Use softened butter for best topping texture. Frozen peaches can be used if thawed and drained well.
