Ingredients Needed
Here are some notes on the ingredients we'll be using. For the full ingredients list, look at the recipe card below.
- Peaches: I used yellow, but you could also use the white fleshed ones. I also kept the peach skin on instead of peeling them.
- Sugars: A little bit of white sugar is used in the filling and then brown sugar for the topping.
- Lemon Juice: This adds a little bit of tartness.
- Old-Fashioned Oats: They are also called "rolled oats". Do not use instant oats because they are not the same.
- Unsalted Butter: We want softened (room temperature) butter. Not cold or melted.
Instructions
Here are the step by step instructions on how to make this delicious peach crisp.
Step 1: Make the filling. In a large bowl, combine the sliced peaches, sugar, flour, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and salt. Pour the peach mixture into a prepared baking dish, including all of the peach juice on the bottom of the bowl.
Step 2: Make the topping. In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Add the butter and use a pastry cutter to cut into the dry ingredients.
Pro Tip! Switch to using your hands and continue to mix everything together until a crumbly topping has formed.
Step 3: Bake. Sprinkle the crumbly mixture over the peaches and bake for 44-50 minutes. Wait 15 minutes before serving and enjoy!
Additional Toppings
The best way to eat a peach crisp is by adding some whipped cream to your serving! You could also add a big scoop of vanilla ice cream to it. The choice is yours!
Storage Tips
Keep any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To reheat, simply place some on a plate and microwave it for about 25 seconds.
Expert Baking Tips
- Baking Pan: Grease an 8x8-inch or 9x9-inch baking pan with non-stick spray. You could also bake this in a pie plate.
- Room Temperature Butter: Pull out a stick of butter 1 hour before you want to start baking.
- Crisp Topping: Use a pastry blender to cut the butter into the dry mixture and then switch to using your hands. Mix everything together with your hands until a crumbly topping has formed.
Recipe FAQs
A cobbler has a biscuit or pie dough topping whereas a crisp has a streusel topping that includes rolled oats, making it crunchy.
I haven't tried this before but if you do, please let me know!
