Ingredients
Scale
Peach Filling
- 8 cups peeled and thinly sliced fresh peaches
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Streusel Topping
- 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) salted butter, room temperature
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 3/4 cup old-fashioned oats
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 400°F. Butter a 9×9-inch baking pan thoroughly to prevent sticking, then set aside.
- Mix Peach Filling: In a large bowl, combine the sliced peaches, granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons of flour, cornstarch, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and salt. Toss well until the peaches are coated and the mixture is even. Pour the peach mixture into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
- Make Streusel Topping: Using the same bowl, cream together the brown sugar, remaining 1/2 cup flour, butter, and remaining 1 teaspoon cinnamon until a wet, clumpy mixture forms. Add the oats and mix with your hands until you have a coarse, crumbly topping.
- Assemble Crisp: Evenly crumble the oat topping over the peach filling, covering completely.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the topping is light golden brown around the edges and the peach filling is bubbling.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let the peach crisp rest for 10 minutes to set before serving. Enjoy warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream.
Notes
- For best results, use fresh, ripe peaches to maximize sweetness and juiciness.

- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- This recipe can be doubled and baked in a larger pan if serving more people.
- Gluten-free oats and flour can be used as substitutes for a gluten-free version.
