Easy Peach Crisp
Description
In this Easy Peach Crisp, thinly sliced peeled peaches are gently cooked with granulated sugar and butter until soft and juicy. Separately, a topping of oats, brown sugar, chopped pecans, cinnamon, and salt is toasted in butter until golden and crisp. The topping adds a crunchy texture and a warm spiced note that complements the sweet fruit base.
The peach slices provide a soft, tender center while the oat and nut topping offers a nutty, crumbly contrast. Serving the crisp warm allows the topping to remain crisp while the filling is gently softened.
Peaches should be sliced about 1/4-inch thick for even cooking. Thicker slices may extend cooking time. Peeling peaches is recommended to avoid tougher skins in the crisp.
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons butter divided
- 1/4 cup pecans optional, or walnuts, chopped
- 1/2 cup rolled oats old-fashioned
- 1/4 cup brown sugar packed
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
Instructions
- Add 3 tablespoons butter to a large skillet.
- Melt over medium heat.
- Add nuts, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt; toss to coat in butter.
- Cook, stirring frequently, until golden and lightly browned, about 5-8 minutes.

- Stir in the peach slices and granulated sugar.
- Cook until the peaches are soft, about 5-6 minutes.
- To serve, divide peaches between bowls and sprinkle with topping.
Notes
- Slicing peaches thinly (about 1/4 inch) helps them cook evenly and soften properly.
- Peel peaches before slicing to improve texture and tenderness in the crisp.
- You may substitute pecans with walnuts if preferred or omit nuts for a nut-free version.
