Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish or an equivalent 8x8 inch baking dish.
- Prepare the peach filling: In a large bowl, gently toss the peach slices with the 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons of flour, lemon juice, and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon until evenly coated. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
- Prepare the crisp topping: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the 1 cup flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon for the topping.
- Cut the cold butter into the dry topping mixture using a pastry blender, two knives, or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs the size of small peas. Do not overmix.
- Sprinkle the topping mixture evenly over the peach filling, covering the fruit completely. For extra crispness, ensure some butter clumps remain visible on top.
- Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbly and tender when pierced with a fork. If the topping browns too quickly, loosely cover it with aluminum foil for the last 10 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack for at least 15-20 minutes before serving. Serve warm, optionally topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
This recipe works wonderfully with frozen peaches; no need to thaw them completely before mixing with the filling ingredients. For a gluten-free option, substitute the flour in both the filling and topping with a 1:1 gluten-free blend.
