Ingredients
Scale
- 5–6 medium fresh peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (50g)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (120g)
- 1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar (100g)
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed (115g)
- 3/4 cup old-fashioned rolled oats (75g)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Prepare the peaches by peeling (optional) and slicing into 1/4-inch thick wedges. Toss sliced peaches with granulated sugar and lemon juice in a large bowl. Let macerate for about 10 minutes.
- In another bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, rolled oats, cinnamon, and salt. Add cold cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or fingertips to mix until crumbly with pea-sized butter bits.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Pour peach mixture with juices into a 9×9-inch baking dish and spread evenly.
- Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the peaches.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes until peach juices bubble and topping is golden brown. Tent with foil if topping browns too quickly.
- Let cool for 10-15 minutes before serving. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream if desired.
Notes
Keep butter cold for a flaky streusel topping. If peaches are very juicy, add 1 tablespoon cornstarch to thicken filling. Tent with foil if topping browns too fast. Let crisp cool before serving to thicken juices. For gluten-free, substitute all-purpose flour with almond or gluten-free flour and use certified gluten-free oats.
