Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 medium fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (about 900g / 2 lbs)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (50g)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (15ml)
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (30g)
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
  • 3/4 cup rolled oats (75g)
  • 1/3 cup packed brown sugar (70g)
  • 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cubed (85g)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Peel (optional), pit, and slice about 6 medium peaches into roughly 1/2-inch thick slices.
  3. In a mixing bowl, gently toss the peach slices with 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice.
  4. Sprinkle 1/4 cup all-purpose flour and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon over the peaches and toss lightly to coat.
  5. Spread the peach mixture evenly in an 8×8 inch (20×20 cm) baking dish.
  6. In a separate bowl, combine 3/4 cup rolled oats, 1/3 cup packed brown sugar, a pinch of salt, and 6 tablespoons cold, cubed unsalted butter.
  7. Cut the butter into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter, two forks, or fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces.
  8. Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the peaches without compacting it.
  9. Bake for 35-40 minutes until the topping is golden and crisp and the peaches are bubbly and tender.
  10. Let the crisp rest for about 10 minutes before serving, ideally with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

Keep the butter cold when mixing the streusel to achieve a crunchy, crumbly texture. If topping browns too quickly, tent with foil halfway through baking. For juicier peaches, add an extra tablespoon of flour to prevent sogginess. Peeling peaches is optional. Frozen peaches can be used if thawed and drained well. For gluten-free, substitute flour and oats accordingly. For dairy-free, replace butter with coconut oil.
