A comforting peach crisp featuring ripe peaches baked with a nutty brown butter almond oat crumble topping, perfect for summer and fall.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large ripe peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced (about 3 pounds or 1.4 kg)
  • ½ cup (100 grams) light brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • ½ cup (113 grams) unsalted butter, browned
  • 1 cup (90 grams) rolled oats
  • ½ cup (50 grams) sliced almonds, toasted or raw
  • ¾ cup (90 grams) all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup (50 grams) granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease your baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. Peel, pit, and slice 6 large peaches into roughly ½-inch (1.25 cm) thick slices. Place them in a mixing bowl.
  3. Add ½ cup light brown sugar, 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt to the peaches. Toss gently until evenly coated. Set aside.
  4. Transfer the peach mixture to your baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Bake for about 15 minutes to soften the peaches.
  5. While peaches bake, melt ½ cup unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir frequently as the butter foams and turns golden brown with a nutty aroma (about 5-7 minutes). Remove from heat immediately.
  6. In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup rolled oats, ½ cup sliced almonds, ¾ cup all-purpose flour, ¼ cup granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional). Pour the browned butter over the mixture and stir until crumbly and evenly coated.
  7. Remove the peaches from the oven and sprinkle the almond oat crumble evenly over the top.
  8. Return the dish to the oven and bake an additional 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and crisp, and the peach filling is bubbling around the edges.
  9. Let the crisp cool for about 10 minutes before serving to allow the juices to thicken.

Notes

Watch the butter carefully when browning to avoid burning; stir constantly and remove from heat as soon as it turns golden brown and smells nutty. Pre-baking the peaches helps achieve a firmer filling and better texture. Tent with foil if the topping browns too quickly. For gluten-free, substitute all-purpose flour with almond flour or gluten-free blend. For dairy-free, use plant-based butter that browns similarly.
