Peach Crisp Recipe
Description
This Peach Crisp recipe combines sliced fresh or frozen peaches tossed with lemon juice (if fresh), flour, and granulated sugar to create a juicy fruit base. The topping is made from a mixture of all-purpose flour, granulated and brown sugar, sea salt, rolled oats, and sliced almonds, which is cut with cold butter until pea-sized crumbs form. Half of the almonds are incorporated into the topping, with the other half added on top for extra crunch.
Baked at 350°F in a buttered casserole dish, the topping crisps while the peaches soften, releasing juices that thicken slightly thanks to the flour coating. The final dish delivers a balance of soft, sweet peaches beneath a textured, nutty crust enriched by the combination of sugars and oats.
Peach Crisp is a comforting dessert suited for late summer or whenever peaches are available. Serve warm, optionally with ice cream or whipped cream for extra indulgence.
If using frozen peaches, thaw fully, drain excess juice, and pat dry to avoid sogginess. You can make the topping using a food processor or by hand with a pastry cutter. Buttering the baking dish helps prevent sticking and enhances browning.
Ingredients
Ingredients for the Filling:
- 2 1/2 lbs peach fresh or frozen, 8 medium
- 2 Tbsp lemon juice omit if using frozen fruit, fresh
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar

- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup brown sugar packed
- 1/8 tsp salt sea salt
- 8 Tbsp unsalted butter 1 stick, cold, diced
- ½ cup rolled oats or quick-cooking oats
- 1 cup almonds divided, sliced
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9x12 casserole baking dish.
- To Blanch Peaches: Place peaches in boiling hot water for one minute or just until skins come off easily then transfer immediately to cold water. Peel, pit and slice into 1/2" thick pieces. Transfer to a large bowl and toss peaches with 2 Tbsp lemon juice.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9x12 casserole baking dish. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup sugar, 1/4 cup flour and toss with the sliced fruit just until evenly coated. Pour into buttered baking dish.
- In a food processor** fitted with a steel blade, combine 1 cup flour, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1/3 cup brown sugar, and 1/8 tsp (pinch) of salt. Pulse several times to combine. Add the diced cold butter and pulse until the butter is the size of peas.
- Transfer mixture to a bowl, add 1/2 cup oatmeal and use your hands to make large crumbles. Add ½ cup of the sliced almonds and mix to combine.
- Spread the topping evenly over the fruit and sprinkle the top with ½ cup of almonds. Bake 45 minutes at 350˚F or until top is golden and the fruit is bubbling at the edges.
Notes
- If using frozen peaches, fully thaw, drain, and pat dry to remove excess liquid before assembling.
- Butter the baking dish to prevent sticking and promote browning.
- A food processor can be used to combine the topping ingredients, or you can use a whisk and pastry cutter if unavailable.
