A warm and comforting peach crisp topped with a buttery oat brown sugar streusel and served with vanilla ice cream. Perfect for late summer or early fall, this easy dessert balances sweet, tart peaches with a crunchy topping.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6–7 ripe peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced (about 3 pounds / 1.4 kg)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cut into cubes
  • Vanilla ice cream (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.
  2. Peel and slice the peaches into roughly 1/2-inch thick slices. Toss them gently in a large bowl with granulated sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg (if using), vanilla extract, and cornstarch until evenly coated.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine oats, flour, brown sugar, salt, and cinnamon. Add cold cubed butter and use a pastry cutter, two forks, or fingertips to work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces.
  4. Spread the peach mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the oat brown sugar streusel evenly over the top.
  5. Bake for 40-45 minutes until the topping is golden brown and crisp and the peach filling is bubbling around the edges. Tent with foil if the topping browns too quickly.
  6. Let the peach crisp cool for at least 15 minutes to allow the filling to set. Serve warm with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.

Notes

If peaches resist peeling, blanch in boiling water for 30-60 seconds then plunge into ice water to loosen skins. Use cold butter for the streusel to keep it crumbly. Let the crisp rest before serving to thicken the filling. For gluten-free, substitute almond or gluten-free flour. For dairy-free, use coconut oil instead of butter and dairy-free ice cream. If peaches are less juicy, add extra lemon juice and a splash of water. Avoid microwaving leftovers to preserve topping texture; reheat in oven instead.
