Cooking steps
  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish for even cooking.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, gently toss sliced peaches with 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/4 teaspoon salt; spread the mixture evenly in the baking dish.

  3. 3

    Combine the rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and cold, diced butter in another bowl; use your fingertips or a pastry cutter to work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

  4. 4

    Sprinkle the oat mixture evenly over the peaches, making sure to cover all the fruit for a crisp, golden topping.

  5. 5

    Bake uncovered for 40–45 minutes or until the top is golden brown and bubbly juices are visible around the edges; let cool for at least 15 minutes to set the topping before serving warm.

Personalized Q&A
Q. What's the key ingredient in this Peach Crisp recipe?
Fresh peaches are the centerpiece of this Peach Crisp, providing juiciness, natural sweetness, and a fragrant base that defines the dessert. The pairing of the peaches with a crumbly oat topping gives the classic flavor and texture.
Q. What is the most important technique for a perfect topping?
Rubbing cold, diced butter into the oat-flour mixture is essential. This ensures the topping bakes up golden and crisp. For best results, handle the butter quickly to keep it cold and achieve a rustic, crumbly texture.
Q. How do I keep the peach filling from turning soggy or runny?
Toss the peaches with lemon juice and sugar, then spread them in an even layer in the baking dish. This encourages some thickening and prevents excess moisture pooling under the crisp topping. Allowing the crisp to cool for 15 minutes after baking also helps the juices set.

Each serving (180g) of this Peach Crisp contains about 320 kcal and 52g of carbohydrates. Carbohydrates make up roughly 65% of the total calories per serving.
