Fresh Peach Crisp
Description
The Fresh Peach Crisp recipe calls for fresh sliced peaches mixed with granulated sugar, placed in a baking dish, and topped with a mixture of old-fashioned oats, brown sugar, flour, and warming spices such as nutmeg, ginger, and cinnamon. Butter is incorporated into the topping until crumbly.
Baked at 375°F (190°C) until the fruit is tender and the oat topping is golden, the crisp combines juicy, sweet peaches with a textured, slightly crunchy topping that contrasts in mouthfeel. Peaches can be served peeled or unpeeled, with the peel contributing color and nutrients if desired.
Serving the crisp warm enhances its comfort food appeal. It pairs well with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for added richness. Though peaches are seasonal, frozen peaches can be used after thawing and draining excess liquid to maintain consistency.
This crisp showcases natural fruit flavors balanced by the sweet, spiced topping, offering a straightforward homemade dessert using pantry essentials and fresh produce.
Ingredients
- 5 cups sliced peeled peaches or apricots
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar white
- ½ cup old fashioned oats
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar packed
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Place fruit in a cast iron skillet or 2-quart square baking dish. Stir in the granulated sugar.
- For the topping, in a medium bowl combine the oats, brown sugar, flour, and spices. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Or simply dice butter and sprinkle butter over mixture.
- Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until fruit is tender and topping is golden.
Notes
- Peach peels can be left on if preferred; they add texture and nutrients.
- If using frozen peaches, thaw and drain excess liquid before baking to prevent sogginess.
- Serve warm from the oven for best flavor and texture.
- Pair with homemade whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for a traditional complement.
- Spices provide subtle warmth—adjust quantities to taste.
