Ingredients

Scale
  • 5–6 ripe peaches, peeled and sliced (about 4 cups)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick), browned
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup pecans, roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (can substitute almond flour for gluten-free)
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your baking dish lightly with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. Peel and slice 5-6 ripe peaches into roughly 1/2-inch thick slices. Toss them gently in a medium bowl with 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (if using), and 1 tablespoon cornstarch. Set aside.
  3. In a small saucepan or skillet, melt 1/2 cup unsalted butter over medium heat. Stir constantly until the butter foams, turns golden brown, and smells nutty (about 5-7 minutes). Remove from heat immediately.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup rolled oats, 1/2 cup chopped pecans, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Pour the browned butter over the oat mixture and stir until evenly coated and crumbly.
  5. Pour the peach mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the brown butter oat and pecan crumble evenly over the top.
  6. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling around the edges.
  7. Let the crisp cool for about 10 minutes before serving to allow the peach juices to thicken.

Notes

Use a light-colored pan to brown butter to avoid burning. Let the crisp cool 10 minutes before serving to thicken juices. Frozen peaches can be used if thawed and drained. For gluten-free, substitute flour with almond or gluten-free flour. For nut allergies, omit pecans and increase oats or add seeds. Broil 1-2 minutes at the end if topping isn’t crisp enough.
