As the days grow longer and the sun shines brighter, there’s nothing quite like a sweet, comforting dessert to celebrate summer’s bounty. This Easy Peach Crisp recipe perfectly captures the essence of the season, bringing together juicy, ripe peaches with a buttery, crisp topping. It’s a simple yet incredibly satisfying treat that’s ideal for family gatherings, potlucks, or just a cozy evening on the porch.

Ingredients

• For the Peach Filling:
• 6-8 cups fresh or frozen sliced peaches (about 2-3 lbs)
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar (or more, depending on peach sweetness)
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (or cornstarch)
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
• For the Crisp Topping:
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cold and diced

Instructions

1. 1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish (or an 8×8 inch dish for a thicker crisp).
2. 2. Prepare the Peach Filling: In a large bowl, gently combine the sliced peaches, granulated sugar, flour (or cornstarch), lemon juice, vanilla extract, and optional cinnamon. Toss until the peaches are evenly coated. Pour the mixture into your prepared baking dish.
3. 3. Prepare the Crisp Topping: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Add the cold, diced butter and use a pastry blender, two knives, or your fingertips to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces of butter remaining.
4. 4. Sprinkle the crisp topping evenly over the peach filling in the baking dish.
5. 5. Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbly around the edges. If the topping starts to brown too quickly, you can loosely tent it with aluminum foil.
6. 6. Remove from the oven and let cool for at least 15-20 minutes before serving. This allows the filling to set slightly. Serve warm, perhaps with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
7. Enjoy!
