Peach Crisp
Description
Peach Crisp combines peeled, sliced peaches tossed with sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, and vanilla to create a sweet, slightly tangy fruit base. The topping includes oats and brown sugar combined with flour, butter, cinnamon, and baking powder, producing a crisp texture after baking. The butter in the topping adds richness and helps create a golden crust. Baking at 375°F until the crust is crisp and golden results in a pleasing contrast between the soft filling and crunchy topping. This crisp works well as a seasonal dessert when peaches are ripe and can be served warm, typically topped with vanilla ice cream to balance the tartness.
