A warm and comforting peach crisp featuring juicy peaches and a rich, toasty brown butter oat crumble topping, perfect for cozy fall evenings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 5–6 ripe peaches, peeled and sliced (about 4 cups)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (adjust based on peach sweetness)
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg (optional)
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick)
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour (substitute almond flour for gluten-free)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prep the Peaches: Peel and slice peaches into about 1/2-inch thick wedges. Toss with granulated sugar, brown sugar, lemon juice, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cornstarch in a large bowl. Let sit for 10 minutes.
  2. Bake the Brown Butter: Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring frequently until it foams and browns (about 5 minutes). Remove from heat and pour into a mixing bowl to cool slightly.
  3. Make the Oat Crumble: Add oats, flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, salt, and cinnamon to the browned butter. Stir until crumbly but clumping. Adjust texture with more oats/flour or a teaspoon of melted butter/milk if needed.
  4. Assemble the Crisp: Pour peach mixture into a baking dish and evenly sprinkle the oat crumble over the top without packing it down.
  5. Bake: Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 35–40 minutes until topping is golden brown and peach filling bubbles. Tent with foil if topping browns too fast.
  6. Cool & Serve: Let cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream if desired.

Notes

Use firm, slightly underripe peaches for best texture. Brown butter carefully to avoid burning. If peaches are very juicy, add an extra tablespoon of cornstarch. The crisp can be made ahead and refrigerated before baking. Reheat leftovers in a 325°F oven for 10-15 minutes to refresh topping.
