Best Ever Peach Crisp
Description
The Best Ever Peach Crisp is a baked dessert comprising sliced peaches combined with lemon juice and vanilla to enhance the fruit's natural sweetness and flavor. Flour and sugar help thicken the filling and add mild sweetness. The crisp topping consists of flour, oats, brown sugar, salt, and cinnamon, cut together with cold butter to create a crumbly texture that crisps as it bakes.
Baking at 350°F for 35-45 minutes produces a tender peach filling beneath a golden, dry, and crisp topping. The cinnamon and brown sugar in the topping provide warmth and depth to complement the peaches. This dessert is traditionally served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, which adds a creamy contrast to the fruit and crisp.
Using yellow peaches is suggested for their natural sweetness, and peeling peaches is optional based on preference. Slicing peaches moderately thick helps prevent an overly soft or mushy filling, as the topping requires sufficient time to crisp.
Ingredients
- 3 pounds peaches sliced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons flour
- ½ cup sugar
- vanilla ice cream for serving
For the topping
- 1 cup flour
- 1 cup oats
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 14 tablespoons butter chilled and cut into small cubes
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and butter a 9x13 inch pan.
- In a large bowl combine peaches, lemon juice, vanilla, flour, and sugar and stir well. Dump into prepared pan and spread out peaches evenly.
- In a medium bowl combine flour, oats, brown sugar, salt, and cinnamon and stir well.
- Cut in chilled butter (use a pastry cutter, fork, or your fingertips OR you can pulse a few times in a food processor). until coarse crumbs form.
- Spoon the topping over the peaches in an even layer.
- Bake for 35-45 minutes until topping is browned around the edges and top is looking "dry" and crisp.
- Cool for 15 minutes. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream. Enjoy!
Notes
- Yellow peaches are preferred for their sweeter flavor, but white peaches can be used if desired.
- Peeling the peaches is optional; leaving skins on adds texture, but peeling produces a smoother filling.
- Slice peaches moderately thick to maintain some firmness after baking, preventing mushiness.
