Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup (70g) brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons (15g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (90g) old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • a pinch of salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Peel and slice about 6 large peaches into 1/2-inch thick slices. Place them into a medium mixing bowl.
  3. Add 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/3 cup brown sugar, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (if using), and 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour to the peaches. Gently toss to coat evenly without making the peaches mushy.
  4. Transfer the peach mixture to an 8×8 inch baking dish, spreading into an even layer.
  5. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup rolled oats, 1/2 cup cold cubed unsalted butter, a pinch of salt, 1/3 cup brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to work the butter into the oats until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces.
  6. Evenly sprinkle the oat crumble topping over the peaches.
  7. Bake for 35-40 minutes until the topping is golden brown and crisp and the peach juices are bubbling around the edges. Tent with foil if topping browns too quickly.
  8. Let the crisp cool slightly for about 10 minutes before serving to thicken the filling.

Notes

If peaches are extra juicy, add an extra tablespoon of flour to thicken the filling. Keep butter cold when making the crumble topping for best texture. Tent with foil if topping browns too quickly. Peeling peaches is easier if blanched in boiling water for 30 seconds then plunged into ice water.
