Ingredients

Scale
  • 56 medium fresh peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (50g)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (115g), browned
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats (90g)
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (65g)
  • 1/3 cup packed brown sugar (70g)
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Peel, pit, and slice peaches into roughly 1/2-inch thick slices. Toss with granulated sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch in a mixing bowl.
  2. Place unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir frequently until butter foams and turns golden brown with a nutty aroma (about 4-5 minutes). Remove from heat and pour into a bowl to cool slightly.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Slowly pour in warm browned butter and stir until mixture clumps together into a crumbly texture.
  4. Pour peach mixture into an 8×8-inch baking dish, spreading evenly. Scatter oat crumble topping evenly over peaches.
  5. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 40-45 minutes until topping is golden brown and peaches are bubbling. Tent with foil if topping browns too quickly.
  6. Let cool for 10-15 minutes before serving. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

Use a light-colored pan to brown butter to avoid burning. If peaches are not ripe, add maple syrup or honey to the filling. Let the crisp rest after baking to thicken juices. Frozen peaches can be used if thawed and drained. For gluten-free, substitute almond flour and gluten-free oats. For dairy-free, use vegan butter or coconut oil but flavor will differ.
