A comforting and easy-to-make peach crisp featuring fresh ripe peaches topped with a crunchy brown sugar oat pecan mixture. Perfect for summer or any time you crave a warm, cozy dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6–7 fresh ripe peaches, peeled and sliced (about 3 pounds / 1.4 kg)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans, toasted
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cut into small cubes

Instructions

  1. Peel and slice 6-7 ripe peaches into 1/2-inch thick slices. Toss gently with lemon juice in a large bowl to prevent browning.
  2. Add granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cornstarch to the peaches. Stir until evenly coated.
  3. Toast chopped pecans in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes until fragrant and lightly browned. Stir frequently and set aside to cool.
  4. In a medium bowl, combine oats, flour, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, and toasted pecans. Add cold butter cubes and cut in with a pastry cutter or fingers until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized butter bits.
  5. Spread the peach mixture evenly in a 9×13-inch baking dish. Sprinkle the oat pecan topping evenly over the peaches.
  6. Bake in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for 35-40 minutes until topping is golden brown and peach juices are bubbling around edges. If topping browns too fast, loosely cover with foil halfway through baking.

Notes

Keep butter cold until cutting into topping for best texture. Toast pecans to enhance flavor. Score peaches and blanch in boiling water for 30 seconds then ice water to peel easily. If topping browns too quickly, cover with foil halfway through baking. Frozen peaches can be used if thawed and drained well. For gluten-free, substitute flour with gluten-free blend and use certified gluten-free oats. For dairy-free, substitute butter with coconut oil.
