Ingredients

Scale
  • 5–6 ripe peaches, peeled and sliced (about 4 cups)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick), browned
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Prep the peaches by peeling and slicing into roughly 1/2-inch thick wedges, about 4 cups total (about 10 minutes).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine sliced peaches with granulated sugar, brown sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, cornstarch, cinnamon, and salt. Stir gently until evenly coated (5 minutes).
  3. Brown the unsalted butter in a light-colored skillet over medium heat, stirring constantly until golden brown and nutty in aroma (5-7 minutes).
  4. In a separate bowl, mix rolled oats, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and nuts if using. Pour warm brown butter over dry ingredients and stir until crumbly and evenly moistened (5 minutes).
  5. Pour the peach mixture into a 9-inch square baking dish, spreading evenly. Sprinkle the oat crumble over the top (2 minutes).
  6. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 35-40 minutes until topping is golden brown and peach filling is bubbling.
  7. Let the crisp cool slightly on a wire rack for about 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Watch the butter closely when browning to avoid burning. Use ripe but firm peaches for best texture. Don’t skip cornstarch to thicken juices. If topping browns too fast, cover loosely with foil. For gluten-free, substitute flour with almond or gluten-free flour. Nuts can be omitted or replaced with seeds for nut-free option.
