A simple and soulful summer dessert featuring juicy ripe peaches under a golden, crunchy brown sugar oat streusel. Perfect for quick, fuss-free gatherings and a comforting sweet finish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large ripe peaches, peeled and sliced
  • ½ cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cold and cut into small cubes
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • A pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Butter or lightly grease your 8×8 inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
  2. Peel the peaches using a vegetable peeler or blanch them briefly in boiling water (about 30 seconds) to loosen the skins. Slice each peach into thin wedges about 1/4 inch thick. Place the sliced peaches in a large bowl.
  3. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract over the peach slices. Toss gently to coat.
  4. In another bowl, combine 1 cup rolled oats, ½ cup all-purpose flour, ½ cup packed brown sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Stir until evenly mixed.
  5. Add the cold, cubed ½ cup unsalted butter to the oat mixture. Using a pastry cutter, fork, or fingers, work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces.
  6. Spread the peach mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the oat streusel topping evenly over the peaches, covering them completely.
  7. Bake uncovered at 350°F (175°C) for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peaches are bubbling around the edges.
  8. Let the crisp rest for about 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

If the topping browns too fast, tent loosely with foil halfway through baking. Drain excess juice from very juicy peaches before assembling to prevent sogginess. Use cold butter and avoid overmixing the streusel for best texture. Peeling peaches is recommended for smoother texture but optional.
