Key Ingredients & Tips for Peach Crisp
- Ripe Peaches: Choose peaches that feel soft when gently squeezed for the best flavor in your crisp.

- 6 medium ripe peaches, peeled and sliced
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (for the filling)

- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

⏱️ Time: Prep: 20 min, Cook: 35 min🍽️ Yields: 6-8 servings
How to Make Your Peach Crisp
Step 1: Prepare the Peaches
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large bowl, gently mix the sliced peaches with the granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons of flour, lemon juice, and cinnamon. Pour this mixture into an 8×8 inch baking dish or similar.
Step 2: Create the Crisp Topping
In a separate medium bowl, combine the rolled oats, 1/2 cup flour, and brown sugar. Add the cold butter pieces. Use your fingertips to rub the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 3: Bake the Peach Crisp
Evenly sprinkle the oat topping over the peach mixture in the baking dish. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit filling is bubbly. Let it cool a little before serving.
📝 Final Note
You can store any leftover peach crisp in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven for the best texture.
