Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 medium fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (50g)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice, freshly squeezed
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup rolled oats (about 90g), old-fashioned preferred
  • 1/2 cup sliced almonds (about 50g), toasted
  • 1/3 cup packed brown sugar (65g)
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (85g), cold and cut into small cubes
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • A pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8×8-inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the peeled and sliced peaches with granulated sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, and flour until juicy and well-coated. Set aside.
  3. In another bowl, combine rolled oats, toasted sliced almonds, brown sugar, and a pinch of salt.
  4. Add the cold, cubed butter and vanilla extract (if using) to the oat mixture.
  5. Cut the butter into the oat mixture using a pastry cutter, two forks, or your fingers until it resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized bits.
  6. Spread the peach mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish.
  7. Sprinkle the almond oat topping evenly over the peaches, covering all the fruit.
  8. Bake uncovered for 35 to 40 minutes until the topping is golden brown and crisp and the peach juices are bubbling around the edges.
  9. Let the crisp rest for 10 to 15 minutes before serving to allow the juices to thicken.

Notes

Toast the sliced almonds in a dry skillet before mixing into the topping to enhance flavor and crunch. Use cold butter for a crumbly topping. If topping browns too fast, tent with foil halfway through baking. You can substitute almond slices with pecans or walnuts, and use gluten-free flour or oats for gluten-free versions. For dairy-free, replace butter with coconut oil.
