A simple and delicious summer dessert featuring juicy peaches and a nutty brown butter oat topping, all made in one skillet for easy cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large ripe peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, browned
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional: handful of chopped pecans or almonds

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Peel and slice the peaches about 1/2 inch thick.
  3. In your skillet, melt the butter over medium heat, stirring constantly until it foams and turns golden brown, about 4-5 minutes.
  4. Remove the skillet from heat and add the sliced peaches. Toss gently with lemon juice, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
  5. In a separate bowl, combine oats, flour, brown sugar, remaining granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt.
  6. Pour the warm brown butter over the dry mix and stir until the topping is crumbly but holds together when pressed.
  7. Evenly sprinkle the topping over the peaches in the skillet and press down lightly.
  8. If using nuts, sprinkle them over the topping now.
  9. Bake uncovered for 30-35 minutes until peach juices bubble and topping is golden brown. Tent with foil after 20 minutes if topping browns too fast.
  10. Remove from oven and let cool for at least 10 minutes.
  11. Serve warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

Use a light-colored pan to monitor butter browning. Do not overload skillet with peaches to avoid steaming. Rotate skillet halfway through baking for even browning. Lemon juice is essential to balance sweetness. For gluten-free, substitute all-purpose flour with almond flour. For dairy-free, use vegan butter substitute.
