How to make peach crisp

Use these step-by-step photos for reference. Full instructions are in the printable recipe below.

Initial prep. Preheat the oven to 375°F and coat a small cast iron skillet or baking dish with cooking spray. Slice the peaches into ½-inch wedges, discard the pits, and place in a bowl.

Make the fruit filling. In a small bowl, whisk together maple syrup, lemon juice, cornstarch, vanilla extract, and salt. Pour over the peaches and gently toss to coat. Set aside.

Make the oat topping. In another bowl, combine oats, oat flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Add the melted butter and stir until crumbly.

Transfer the filling. Transfer the peach mixture to the prepared skillet or dish. I love to use two 6.5-inch cast iron skillets when I make peach crisp for two. Or use a 9-inch pan for a larger batch.

Bake the peach crisp. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the peaches. Bake for 20–30 minutes, until the topping is golden and the filling is bubbling at the edges. Let rest for 5–10 minutes.

Serve and devour. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.

Recipe tips

Use ripe, fragrant peaches for the best texture and flavor.
If using frozen peaches, thaw completely and drain well to avoid excess moisture.
For canned peaches, drain thoroughly before using to prevent a watery filling.
Double or triple the filling ingredients if you prefer a saucier crisp.
Add a pinch of nutmeg or ground ginger to the topping for extra warmth and depth.
Stir in chopped pecans or walnuts for added crunch and flavor.
To re-crisp leftovers, reheat uncovered in a 350°F oven for a few minutes until the topping is crisp again.
