This Peach Crisp recipe is sweet and delicious dessert with tons of fresh peaches and a crisp oat topping. Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream and it just tastes like summer!
Peach Crisp is a summer staple! We love making this delicious dessert year round with frozen peaches, but fresh peaches just taste so much better. The crunchy oat topping adds a nice texture to the creamy peach filling.
My dad loved cobblers and crisps, They were always his favorite dessert. He could easily finish off a whole pan of this Peach Crisp by himself in a matter of days. I wish he was still with us because I know that he would absolutely love this recipe.
HOW TO MAKE PEACH CRISP
Casserole type of desserts seem complicated but they are really so easy. The filling is comprised of fresh peaches, sugar, flour (to thicken), vanilla and lemon juice. I love adding lemon juice to fruit desserts because the acid is a lovely contrast to the super sweet filling.
The oat topping is made with butter and rolled oats, flour and spices like cinnamon and nutmeg. The butter is softened and blended in with the oats and flour to form a crumbly mixture, then patted down onto the peach filling. Once baked it forms this crispy, crunchy layer over the creamy peach filling. It’s seriously amazing!
PRO TIP: Make sure to use OLD FASHIONED ROLLED OATS. (aff) The quick cook kind will just absorb the liquid and become soggy. The old fashioned kind will get nice and crunchy.
Everybody loves this amazing Peach Crisp recipe. It’s warm and inviting and makes your house smell amazing. It’s the perfect summer dessert that no one can resist!
